This is one of my clients, Ashley. She wanted to do something unique and sexy. She also mentioned that she just got married and she happens to have pvc boots, latex suit and latex gloves that she wore last halloween.. so I figured we'd use both :)

    I agree.

    The lighting is beautiful though.

    Also she has a bite(?) on her right leg. Looks odd with everything else so buttery smooth.

    Thats one wicked looking bride.......in a good way.

    Only my opinion
    The dual concept.....not working...I don't see sexy...The overall skin treatment (in this particular case) leaves her cold. They lean toward "distant" in expression and pose.....hard to articulate. It's a great idea and the lighting is right on....I see her standing/posing/bending/moving/something other than sitting in a chair thinking of taking a nap (sorry.....just looks that way to me) :D

    thanks for the critique. I really should learn more on how to pose the model/subject.

    not quite understand what u meant about 'distant' in expression and pose? the expression doesnt quite compliment the pose?

    rhommel: The distant look on her face leaves the viewer a bit "unmoved". It sort of fits with the relaxed pose in the chair but I guess with the dress and latex, numerous possibilities come to mind....fun stuff.....exciting/sexy/expressive looks in the eyes....animated mannerisms...hands in the air, etc. You could capture the good/bad look in one shot with the right pose.

    I like the look and the highlights of the second. And I like the style. Not sure
    about the chair and the first looks a tad OE.

    I like the first shot. Lots of tension. A pretty girl in a virginous dress with the latex. Brrrrr . . . .
    There's no other way to say it though, I think she looks hideous in the second. Skin tones are ghoulish.

    I sure agree with this one. She looks as if you are pointing a gun at her to make her pose. Anything but fun.
