Dec 15 10 06:33 pm Link Shouldn't go in your portfolio, I think it takes it down. The fold on your torso and the shadow under your eye aren't flattering. Dec 15 10 07:09 pm Link You have some beautiful photos in your portfolio. The photo you have posted here is an attempt to do something artistic. Some people like that sort of thing. I don't. I wouldn't have shot a picture of you that way. Dec 15 10 07:17 pm Link I can see where you wanted to go with this shot, hard and edgy, but it doesn't work for me. Love your other work! Dec 15 10 07:20 pm Link honestly? cover up. perhaps an interesting corset instead of a pulled up tank top. or maybe an open jacket, but not too open. Dec 15 10 07:27 pm Link I like the image, Just a little bit of clean up in photoshop and it will add a nice bit of diversity to your port Dec 15 10 07:29 pm Link xElizabethx wrote: You have better photos than that. Dec 15 10 07:30 pm Link Thank you all, if the photo was retouched differently would it look better? Dec 15 10 07:53 pm Link I have to disagree with some of the above, I really do like the powerfulness of the overall composition and expression. I think it's one of your better frames. I would not retouch it, rather make a cropped version of just the head and arms (leave the chest out). But this is just my opinion, mainly because I sometimes like strong expressions. Dec 16 10 01:23 am Link The concept is good and I don't get stuck on technicalities of the photo, but I feel it doesn't really match those you already have in your port. That would be my opinion, of course. Best Regards Dec 16 10 01:27 am Link it has been done, and better: https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/15492915 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/15493886 Dec 16 10 01:32 am Link As a critique, I think it's a great concept that needs a touch of different executions. As a model, it shows that you have some artistic chops. If you don't have something artistic in your port in the same vein, keep it until you get one better.

The post work makes you look sloppy. If it were done right, it could be a good image. I have to say though... You are beautiful.

Dec 16 10 07:57 am Link Retouching of your exposed breast.. and a little overall cleanup work is required Dec 16 10 07:58 am Link Thank you all, and I agree that it can be done a bit better, thats why I will just try again. I wanted to test an idea and the photog agreed. Different styling, better post work, and lighting.. thank you  Dec 16 10 08:01 am Link It's not a great shot.....and in my opinion.. changing how it's been processed won't improve it.. You have better work. I think if you loved it.. you'd not have asked for opinions.. I say trust your instincts. Dec 16 10 08:03 am Link Although I like the concept and your expression, this composition doesn't work for me. Cropping out the other breast doesn't feel right to me, nor does the post work / coloring. Still, kudo's for artistic experimentation. Dec 16 10 08:23 am Link I'm going to redo this shot today. So be on the lookout. Dec 16 10 08:29 am Link Lenny wrote: Those look like a completely different style then the image in question. Dec 16 10 08:35 am Link ...you are far too beautiful for the image posted. Dec 16 10 08:36 am Link Gibson Photo Art wrote: agreed, but thanks anyway lenny, can't wait to work together next month. Dec 16 10 08:37 am Link xElizabethx wrote: Well here is my take on it. I like it. It feels gritty and sexy and really does stand out. Not a pretty glamour shot and its so much better because its not. Reminds me of TH work. Dec 16 10 08:44 am Link I think you should keep it and leave it alone. While some are commenting on the photo and have good suggestions, I am looking at this from a different angle - That is I am looking at a models portfolio, not a photographers portfolio. It's nice to see a photo that has not been photoshopped beyond reality. If a photographer wants to do that in their portfolio, then fine. I want to know what you really look like if I am considering working with you. This photo make you look very confident and makes me think you would be someone I wanted to work with. You don't seem nervous or self-concious. That may not be the truth, but neither is photoshop Dec 16 10 08:44 am Link Sandra Vixen wrote: +1 Dec 16 10 08:50 am Link Very unflattering IMO ...... very harsh ..... I'd never make a model look like this but it that's cool with you..... it's certainly different Dec 16 10 08:19 pm Link I'd have to agree that overall, It doesn't flatter you. I know you want to push your diversity and artistic views, but it can be done in a better way. I would crop and keep just your facial expression. It rocks! MARC Dec 17 10 03:09 am Link Like where you're going but I think it can look edgy without looking so harsh. Also the crop doesn't excite me. I'd either keep both breasts in or crop above them. Just the one and 1/2 looks funny to me. JMO. Can't wait to see the reshoot. Dec 17 10 03:22 am Link |
