Last week I was able to complete my second nude shoot with a pretty amazing model! Shot just outside of Banff National Park last Sunday, it was about 3 degrees celsius (37ish fahrenheit). It was cold, but she was a trooper! I would love any feedback or advice on how I can continue to improve  1. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30591006 2. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30591008 (18+) 3. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30591003 (18+) 4. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/30591004 (18+) Thanks for taking a look!

That is a magical photo and one I would proudly display a very large print of in my office (If I could afford it) The only constructive feedback I can offer is that the fourth one seems a little flat due to the angle you shot the llama. I believe just one inch up would have been stunning. The two middle ones show incredible range for the llama and are great supporting shots for the first one, but that first one says a lot to me. I see struggle, majesty, beauty, destruction, dismay, all of these things wrapped up into one incredible shot. Well done sir.

Nov 10 12 04:34 pm Link the first and third ones are the best. Nov 10 12 04:39 pm Link They are all amazing images!! Nov 10 12 04:50 pm Link wow, i love them!! great work! Nov 10 12 04:54 pm Link hi dan, the first is my favourite but they all show your usual eye, mood and class! cheers ears lloyd Nov 10 12 04:54 pm Link I'm also knocked out by the first image, it's stunning. It's a good set, my compliments. Nov 10 12 04:57 pm Link SSR Designs wrote: Thanks! I understand what you are talking about regarding the fourth image... I will keep it in mind next time I shoot something like that Nov 10 12 04:58 pm Link Thanks for the kind words guys, glad you like them Nov 10 12 05:04 pm Link SSR Designs wrote: +1 Fantastic shot Nov 10 12 05:07 pm Link In Its Own Way wrote: +2 wow nice work Nov 10 12 05:21 pm Link First three are really well done. As mentioned earlier the angle on the 4th one is a bit odd. Overall very nice series. Thanks for sharing. Nov 10 12 05:44 pm Link JAE Photography PA wrote: Thanks! Nov 10 12 05:59 pm Link I like your foreground aspects and the setting. Not wild about the model being in color and the rest is mono......but that is my taste. Overall I like Nov 10 12 06:15 pm Link The first and third are winners for me Dan. You have a great eye for art nude. Nov 10 12 06:19 pm Link For me, first (!) and second. Wonderful use of light. Nov 10 12 06:42 pm Link You did the right thing by hiring one of the best llamas.

Visited Jasper National Park once and drove all over! LOVED it so much and can't wait to go back! GORGEOUS country!

Great location, good pose, good mood, good composition, good lighting, etc. I can't help but think it would be far more compelling as a black & white image though. It would really isolate the model from the rest of the image and, IMHO, make the mood that much deeper. Nov 10 12 07:11 pm Link Really fantastic location. Just agog. If I were developing, I'd saturate a little more ochre or rust into the first and have a serious look at cropping into the feet of shot number 2. I think 2 is good as is but looking for the "picture within the picture" I found that the angles, textures and colors of her feet in closeup were very interesting. Great work! Nov 10 12 07:25 pm Link love the first one, the shadow on hip in the 3rd is nice as well. Nov 10 12 07:31 pm Link Images #1 , 2 and #3 are for me ! Awesome images and beauty. Nov 10 12 07:35 pm Link Dane is a great model. Great shots! Nov 10 12 07:49 pm Link Thanks! Nov 10 12 07:50 pm Link Chris Maxwell wrote: Yup. She is awesome! Nov 10 12 07:50 pm Link As you're already aware, number 1 is the best by far. Well done, sir! And a great job to the model as well! Tell me, since you've done two nude shoots now; how do you like it? Nov 10 12 08:08 pm Link Fantastic work all around and kudos to your model for performing beautifully under such conditions. Nov 10 12 08:16 pm Link Not too shabby for ur second...

I try to simplify my shots as much as possible; anything that isn’t needed gets tossed out of the frame... including clothes, it seems to work out better that way. Nov 10 12 08:39 pm Link Number 1. Great work. Nov 10 12 08:46 pm Link DAN CRUIKSHANK wrote: I agree with you entirely! Nov 10 12 09:45 pm Link Very nicely done, especially for just your second nude shoot. About my only nit pick is the lower foot position in image 2, it just strikes me as awkward. Nov 10 12 09:54 pm Link When you put a great model, a fantastic location, and an intrepid photographer together....magic happens!.. Second nude shoot, good work! Continued best....

Nov 10 12 10:05 pm Link 1st one is fabulous.....2nd and 3rd ones are really good too.....4th one doesn't work because of the angle.....but overall, job very well done! Nov 10 12 10:07 pm Link |
