    I really like the photography and the tone along with the expression and the pose in number 4. Makes ya look at it a while.

    NICE! I'd like to see #2 in color, cause I think that one is very close to nailing the Joel Grimes look, lighting wise. I think if the front light was a half to a full stop lower, you would have nailed it!

    I'm not usually a fan of "blue circle" pinup style but I gotta say I love # 1, Hack. She looks great throughout.

    On # 3 I'm sure you nailed the light effect you went for but the harshness makes me go HMMMM.

    I can remember the first time working with off camera flash coming in from behind. 2006 down in Homa LA in the town square, when that first image popped up on the screen of the gal at the water fountain I fell in love with the harsh lighting. Seriously, that is just the way it happened and I've been in love with it ever since.

    Nice work, different then what I am used to… but still …its powerfull. 3 is a bit suffering from less good light positioning and results in a creepy look (similar effect like t a flashslight under the chin)

    Stephan, this is what Joel Grimes uses. I had 2 lights coming in from behind on a 45 degree angle and a softbox lying on the floor shooting up to get the gritty look. Agreed, just a big flashlight.

    Thanks Charles, I was just referring to the effect of the light position and how it creates shadows on the face that are kind of upside down. But then again if that is a method en style that is used by J.G, well why not hey….. it was just my personal view. See I never try to imitate (pictorial/technique) known photographers instead I try to develop my own style…..it takes a long time but after a while it is there…..That also means that I try my own light positions and start to read the light…… because at the end, it is all about knowing and understanding light and its behavior.

    #3 is my favorite.

    Since I was not familiar with J. Grimes, the other day I looked him up and saw a long video by him about his work.

    A few things that struck me (this was 2011 video): He always uses Daylight/Sunlight WB and F8 to F9 aperture.
