Hi! I just uploaded some new mature content...it was my first time going full nude. I stepped out of my comfort zone, but I'm happy with how they turned out. Would love some feedback on them! (first 4) Thank you!! Dec 10 19 01:42 pm Link Amanda_G wrote: First off, I think you're lovely. Actually, kinda glorious. Dec 12 19 01:38 am Link ... Dec 12 19 02:00 am Link None of them are terrible, especially since they don't look like amateur snapshots, but none of them really impress me either. Overall, I think the lighting lacks any real depth or creativity. The poses don't really flatter your figure either, and are also a little too rigid. You connect well with the camera though, which is good. The silhouette group is okay, but there's nothing really unique about and the poses are kind of textbook. I'm in L.A. as well. If you ever want to shoot together, I'd be glad to help expand your portfolio. Dec 12 19 02:02 am Link Orca Bay Images wrote: Hi! Thank you for the generous critique. I really appreciate the feedback. I agree about the angle of the jaw in that second pic. I'm still working on finding my angles and working them out. My jaw can photograph really large, so I try to break out of the habit of chin up, and keeping it down haha. Dec 12 19 01:12 pm Link Eros Fine Art Photo wrote: Thank you for the feedback! I'm still learning how to pose in ways that will flatter my figure. I'm a curve model, so the more I learn and practice the better. Dec 12 19 01:13 pm Link I will differ with the above opinions just a bit. I like #4 the best. It is the most interesting image. The others are kinda cookie cutter, except for the blurring, which I don't care for. But just one worthless opinion.  Dec 12 19 02:39 pm Link Nor-Cal Photography wrote: Thank you!

Different lighting styles, different poses, different looks and moods, and as many different photographers as you can schedule. Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes can be excellent teachers. You won't find your strengths and weaknesses without pushing yourself and failing occasionally along the way.

I like the way you connect with the camera and your facial expressions are pretty solid. Posing is something you need to work on. Shoot as much as you can as often as you can with good photographers who have experience and can help you find your best angles. The second image in your portfolio needs to come out. The straight on angle is unflattering to just about everyone and in this shot it exaggerates the width of your shoulders and hips. Remember your portfolio is your advertising. Your other images are all positives for you but that one image undoes everything the others do for you. IMHO of course. I look forward to watching you expand your portfolio. You have a lot of potential. Dec 15 19 08:55 pm Link Kudos for pushing your comfort level. I'm glad you found a photographer you felt comfortable doing that with and decided to take the risk. As photographers that shoot nudes all the time, I think we can forget what it takes for new models to venture into nude work. We can all agree that you are quite gorgous. I hope you liked it enough to want to continue to shoot nudes. Not a fan of the blur in the first image. I am a strong fan in your connection with the camera, big eyes and your face. I don't like the floating detached hand. I'd dump the second and third images. I like the forth. Mayb you can look over the other images from that shoot and pick some other images. I like that you are open to criticism and seem to take it well. I agree that you need more experience and should shoot with the right photographers as often as you can. Angles and posing and the like. You have so much potential. If you ever get to the Fresno CA area. Hit me up and we'll create like crazy and I'll do it as a trade shoot. Jan 01 20 08:36 am Link I love the eye contact in the first. The shoot through nature of the fabric (I'm guessing) on the photographer's side is a really nice touch. The second, is fine. It's a little bland for my taste. More like a test shot. Often times, when doing something like this, I'll ask my model to think of a story with a strong emotion or a movie or something that brings life into your eyes and your face. It's a great way of really getting personality into every image. The silhouettes are great! I really love that you were adventurous and went for it! Good on you for finding a photographer who you feel comfortable with. Keep on working at it!! You're going to be phenomenal! Jan 07 20 11:16 am Link I like the first image. I like the "fog". The retouch mostly looks great. I don't like the loss of shadow detail, which is worst in the 1st and 4th images, but that's mostly me. The second one also pretty good retouching, but poor composition. Some would say the lighting isn't interesting enough, but I don't think that's the problem. 'Very inferior to the first. The third is interesting pop art. I like it. The 4th , also good, but a little heavy on the split toning for my taste. That and the poor shadow detail make give it a heavy-handed retouch look, and I think your other pieces are much better than this one. The first pic is clearly worth keeping imo. You look fabulous, btw. Jan 08 20 12:28 am Link I have no doubt that you can succeed!! But you need to find photographers that you are comfortable with and share the creative part of posing and shooting and let you bring your own ideas. My favorite images in my port are the result of a wonderful creative collaboration with the models and the camera! Jan 08 20 03:53 pm Link |
