More Sofia-pics! (Not only with mouth wide open! Haha)

Howdy friends!
Just wanted to share a few more pics from my last shoot with my colleague Sofia. Before, I've had "issues with models not wanting to smile", but with Sofia, that's hardly a problem, in that case more the other way around.
So, here is a few when she isn't turning her self inside out from smiling and laughing!















Ok! Ok! Sorry... I just couldn't resist posting a few more "smilies"!



Hehe! Who the h*ck is that ugly guy in the mirror!? :wink

Barefoot and Natural

That last one is just too great!! What fun that shot is!!!

I LOVED the first one and I love the "pano" collage!

Great work....she is beautiful!!


Heather

Ted Szukalski

Matty, again fantastic job. The first shot and the "smiley" are superb.

Do you know what my "but" will be? ... Eye make up! Sofia's left eye eye-shadow covers more area than right.

Looks like you too are having way too much fun (envy) and the photos are getting better with each set.

More great pics!!! #1 for me, Sophia just photographs beautifully in color. I agree w/Ted about her makeup being noticeably heavy-handed on one eye (her left), it is distracting because her eyes are just so beautiful you can't help but stare at them! She looks great smiling...or not!

gorgeous model you've got there. your retouching is excellent, her skin and eyes look amazing.

justME

I agree with everyone she's darling, beautiful, gorgeous and cute as a bugs ear! I like her with or without her mouth open. I think your work is fantastic. The light control is excellent and the colors are true. I think your pictures of her could sell ice to Eskimos!

System

Wow!

elfving73

Thank you, Heather! I'm glad if I (we) brought a smile to your face!

Thank you, Ted!
You know, I didn't notice til you pointed that out! Haha! Yes, you're right.... I guess I could try with "In order to emphasize absolute symmetry, you need something ever so small that disturb the balance....." Yes, yes, that's why we did that on puropose!:ivar *Kidding*

Thank you! You know, her eyes are so strong that I didn't notice about the asymmetri in the makeup! Oh man, I'm really good at making up excuses! Hahaha! Seriously, usually I'm quite quick to notice such things, but this time I didn't. But now when it's pointed out, it's really obvious.

Oh, Mattias!
How I love Sophia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yuri
P.S. and you, as a photographer, also :-)

elfving73

Thank you, Yuri! You know, when it comes from a great photographer like you, it warms a bit extra!

Things have really begun to happen around here! I got member of a photographers/models/MUA (Make Up Artists) site a few months ago, and the last few weeks I've been contacted almost every day by models, wanting me to take their pictures. *Cool!* Way more than I can "handle" (not enough spare time!:cry )

Here is my cornet at the site: (In swedish though)

EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What fantastic photos...........you've outdone yourself. I always look at your stuff and you seem to out do your self every time.

She is a fantastic model..............just superb!!!!!!!

Seneca

Beautiful young woman there...she should be a model. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful eyes...teeth...smile...the whole package. Great job.

Fusion_UK

Probably going to get ripped into for this, beautiful model but I would be very tempted to clone out the freckles, she only has one or two but the realy stand out like spots or blemishes, otherwise I love the pics. Ian

Congratulation on Modellbilder Matty! You deserve it with your wonderful images. Your choice of models doesn't hurt anything either . I think you could do a series on Sofias eyes alone. They just grab you and pull you into them.

coldclimb

Love that last one, and the others are good too! Nice work.

As for freckles, I've always loved them, but I've found mixed opinions among other people. I say keep them though.:D

pretty model .. i did notice the freckles myself.. but her eyes bring you back..

elfving73

Yepp! I agree!

Thank you very much, Seneca! I'll pass that on to her (if she hasn't checked in here by herself already!)

Thank you! Well, I understand - blemishes, scars and stuff like that always has to go, but I never touch birthmarks (not freckles) unless the model asked for it.

Thank you Nick! With modellbilder, things has really begun to happen. I get contacted by new models every day now. Far more than I can "handle" (due to lack of time)
