Any advice and opinion very much appreciated ! Dec 26 12 11:10 pm Link I assume you're looking for opportunities to improve so I'll give you my 2¢ straight up. Make up your mind on compensation, you pay, we trade, I pay. I know it's a dilemma when its your passion. I struggle too. You might be overselling the amazing backgrounds, let your work speak. Biggest thing to me is bikinis at night. Makes no sense. Try fashion nudes at night with a little more architecture. Only way I can see night bikini is a soft campfire glow. Dec 27 12 12:41 am Link Keith thanks so much....I will make some changes to profile based on ur advice. As far as shooting bikini pics at sunset or night, I'm not sure I understand why this is not ok to do?? Can u elaborate if you have time? Again thanks for the help... Michael... Dec 27 12 09:25 am Link Good portfolio, but in model perspective, some of your images are too dark and you loose the model rather then achieve the silhouette capture. I personally agree with Keith that if your going to do dark imagery, do it to accentuate the curves and natural beauty of the model(s). And for that, typically implied/topless/nude is called for. I like the swimsuit concept, but I'd rather see it in light of day then cover of night/evening. Just the personal opinion of a model. Good luck to ya! Have a great New Years! Dec 27 12 09:34 am Link Hi Melodye, Thanks so much for your critique.... Do you think it's a case of my model being underexposed ? Or do you think it's the concept of shooting swim ware at sunset ? Thanks for you time. Michael Dec 27 12 09:54 am Link I'll give some advice regarding your written profile: It's pretty unimportant the equipment you use and which editing software. The statements come across as being tech-centric. I doubt any models would (should) care. I drop all references to equipment. **Edit** One more thing: Don't use selective color for anything. Just say no. Dec 27 12 06:04 pm Link Hi John thanks for time and advice.....I have removed what you suggested. And I will say No from now on ! Thanks again ! Dec 27 12 06:45 pm Link |
