all the other images of naked girls on your portfolio are free... meaning they are nude and are free with it, her hiding her chest is conveying ( whether intentional or not ) a fear of some sorts... take her, and shoot with her in the abandoned house you have a pic of, then lose the original of both images and just use that one... id also lose the one with the mask... doesnt say anything other then its amask covering  the no no spot

Mr David Kirk, I am bowing before you... your work is amazing and can find no fault with it, you are a master in lighting and composition ( i'd only lose the one of the girl leaning with her back against the graffiti wall ) everything else is more then i could ever dream of...

Its paula abdul taking  a bath , and that friggin beauty mark is that thing real?

Your other stuff is better, although I want to see you take your models away from the water... you have a lot of water themed shots... this one meh, the colors are kinda neat,,, but it doesnt say anything, if you want to do an image like this, think the movie wild things of denise richards coming out of a pool

You have a unique eye.... you can ellicit attitude and your shots are top notch, my only gripe, and this is a small one, is in the vignetting of a few of them their faces get hidden, i want to see moreof their faces... this has a herb ritts in africa feel to it, keep up the good work

I've seen your work... i like it, this is a step in a new direction, I am interested to see where it goes...

as for the image its ok, lighting is kind of flat i would have  ligted the light higher and made more shadow on her cheekbone

That is xJezabelx ( 80136 ) from our first shoot that day, yes it snowed. My camera started to slow a bit so I kept a second set of batteries in my pants pocket to warm them.

From the second shoot that day.

I would have added more light to the gun, to show it off more, and have her be more moving in her pose, its like shes gonna yawn with a rifle in her hand.... make her go apeshit! shes got  agun in her hand and in a red beetlejuice looking thing, make it funky!

I think your avatar sucks ( Even i could do better ) This isnt the best shot from that day, the photographer needs more light in the background ti bring up the right side of the image... and if its jeans you are doing primarily, he should have focused on it.... this looks like a grab shot with a pseudo interested in shooting model - more passion from the model, and a few months from when that was shot for the photographer, and you will have a killer image conveying the wonderful jean work you do!

that image? too much diffuse glow, or whatever you are using... expression is amazing... might be better in black and white... you have color in studio down to a science, now you need more props, or to get in closer so you can engage the viewer more... or be crazy and shoot outside of  a backdrop... you are getting there... i want to see more

Oh, I agree 100%.

By this time her nose was getting red and we were both cold cold c-o-l-d.

She did a great job for our first shoot.

Ps, don't bother commenting on the other crap I posted, I was just sharing some more "first shoots" with you.

Thanks again for your time.

I think your best ones is yer avatar... the snapshot ones u gotta lose them... and even some of the better ones, the hair doesnt seem right, it looks like the girls here in nj, that were in the early 90's driving IROCS - the photographer you used for the pinup is by far the best... get with more photographers in your area... the pics look dated, like miami vice, (the original) dated...you have potential for possible print promo stuff, or even editorial,,, like dressing up like a nurse for advertisements and such

and theres a reason why... your portfolio is stronger then this image conveys... it says nothing, its a snapshot with you in an outfit... now... if you were in a subway station on the dirty ground, against a wall a bum just took a piss on, then yes... it would work... the white overcomes the viewers eyes, and when they are done being burned out, you see agirl who looks aloof... the expression doesnt fit the image... and by all means other images in your portfolio blow this outta the water

I think its an image i wouldnt use to show what i am capable of for eseveral reasons 1) wife beater and polka dot undies 2) unflattering pose and/or angle
3) lighting, he/she has a hairlight on you but the rest of the light is blech... you light the stuff u want to show off... so why is he/she trying to show off the back of your head? its not a good image by any means...

it's good, but this one is stronger

if you were goin g to do the other one, i would want to see it cropped differently, she looks like she is strong, and has something unique about her, you showed her softer side in the other image... her in a wifebeater with arms folded or one hanging out would have made it in my eyes

I dont like the thumb peeking out from the bottom, and the way her lips are... its like sacagawea meets sexy... which might have been what youw ere going for, but on a deeper level, she is embracing the sun and the warmth it provides, ( or at  least thats what i get from it ) but then has a seductive thing going on with her lips... i woudl rather have seen a a quite smile or less expression - she has amazing natural beauty... you should definitely shoot with her over and over and get different looks from her... amazing image and feel to it, i also like the other oens of her
