You have a lot of headshots. I would get rid of a few of them. These three IMO are the ones I would consider getting rid of first.






They are not terrible but you have much better examples in your port, such as these.







Just my humble opinion.

Thank you very much.

Those first two of the "keeps" are my muse, so it's good to hear I'm doing her justice!

I actually don't want any sort of critique. I think you show a talent for headshots and if you turn your focus sharply towards actors you might really bank there. Incidentally, we use the same camera! Which is why I stopped by to say: "I like what I saw."

I concentrate on a different field from you. Good luck!!! And make sure you charge!

Thank you.

I have been shooting a lot of actors and am only really trading with models. My love is for portraits, so headshots made sense to me.

That's certainly a big compliment. Quite a nice one coming from you.

You clearly have already trimmed some at this point.

I dig










I was not sure about - the expression is sorta "In Between" as if she is starting to react - or say something.  Then I looked at it in full sized - and I like it much better out of the thumbnail size. She's lovely and there is great detail there.




Not so much

  kinda flat - not much to highlight or focus on

  To me - Colors are  .. .odd - her skin is pale - yet without enough of the pinkish undertones you see in really pale skins (in a lot of cases).  I actually think this might be better as a B&W

I don't know why I never thought of that... I am going to try!!! Thank you!

She's a fantastic model and I realllly want to try to keep her in.

This is the one that jumps out at me as being a little flat.


The rest I like a lot for various reasons. Nice work:)

You have a great book, but I just feel like something is *missing.*

I think it's clothes. More specifically, clothes on a redhead.

More more specifically, clothes on THIS redhead.

*nods*
Yep. That would fix it, I think.

You know, I'm not as big of a fan of your non-nude work as I am of your nude work.

I'm wondering if part of it is the models-- perhaps you pay your nude models and not the non-nude? Maybe when you do you next nude shoot-- paid or not-- see if the models will do a clothed look as well.

The non-nudes just lack the depth and emotion-- aside from this, which I find lovely.

Thank you! I think you hit the nail on the head at least on part of it.

Thanks very much! - it helps to have other perspectives.

I see what your are saying - Not shopped much (I don't have many skills in photoshop) - It may be the closeness to the VERY soft light source flattened things out

One of the links you gave didn't work - but, I think this was the image you were talking about based on the partial number

Thanks for the kind words about my shots

Oh, I'm sorry! Yes, that was the image.
