JerHoc

Need some feedback!

How do either of these work for the contest? Any thoughts?

or this one?



I have some others I'm still going through, but these two really have the colors that come out...

Thanks for any input!

Very nice photos ... I see the contrast involved with the make-up. My only critique is the lighting. It seems too "yellow", and the blues/reds don't seem to pop out at all. Maybe a photo with a stark white light would look better? Looks like you started this in the second photo, but really push the brightness. Just my opinion, of course

In addition to the yellow hue issue I think the pictures lack sharpness and contrast. It looks like your focus is off just a bit. Adjust white balance or reshoot with different lighting. Punch up the colors.

Nice concept though...I like the pose in the first shot.

Agree with the above - plus: first looks too 'posed', second is very unevenly lit, and the third gets my vote. It's got style and abit of eroticism.

Thanks for the comments! Indeed, we were using a softbox that gives bit of a yellowish cast...I'll mess around with it in PS a bit.

We were going to use a second set of lights, and a white background as well, really brighten it up...but, I am absolutely apalled to say, my battery died. DOH! I am now shopping for backups. Live and learn.

Won't get to reshoot before the contest is over, but this has given me a lot to think about and work on! Thanks so much!
