Ok!

Jorge you have some incredible imagery and from reading your profile you sound like someone that I'd like to meet and have a drink with next time I'm in LA. I love your style and processing in your images!

What I primarily see is glamour/fashion magazine quality images that are bar-none some of the best I've seen on MM. Unfortunately I haven't listed you in my "art" list.

Outstanding work here! I particularly like the photo of Iona reclined in the chair and would have listed that one if the balance between light and dark was a little closer.

You've got some great images and I like that you have focus on themes.

Reeeaally close. Maybe next time!

Come in.  Enjoy.  (We even have Texas girl art...)

David, we've traded comments in the past and obviously I'm a fan of your work. From one painter to another you definitely have skill with a brush. I haven't listed you in my art list simply because, well, I'm picky and I'm really looking for that fine art photo that just blows me away.

I will give it a go

Dontez you've got some creative talent that I feel is suffering from expressionless models.

I do like several of your images including but not limited to the one you have as your body paint header. My picky self would like to see that image straightened and it's probably the only thing that kept me from listing it.

I'm looking for images that speak to me and that one definitely does!

I'd be happy to hear your opinion!  -Ron

Ron, I really like some of your images. I especially like the image of Zygo that you have on your portfolio. I also looked at your website and saw some great things there as well.

Here's my summation: You are definitely aware of what's capable lighting and your models are posing well with nice expressions. I think where the problem lies is with your compositions and crops.

I can't tell you how to crop, only give my opinion (for what it's worth). I see many images that I think are nice but would be truly excellent with a better crop. Rule of thirds, not cropping at major body joints, etc.

Nothing listed but great work Ron!

Hmmm wonder how you think..

Excellent glamour/fashion work. I even commented on one of them.

I'm looking for art/fine art though.

Thanks for letting me take a look Michael!

Sure! Let me know when you are in town.

Please pick pic, Picky?

I chose this one:



Even though we're looking at glamour/fashion lighting I find the image very striking and it really reminds me so much of THX1138

Excellent work. This is one I could look at for hours analyzing every detail.

I really like the shot of Laura with the graffiti. In my minds eye I'm not seeing fine art though.
Editorial and fashion, yes!

Thanks

I'm gobsmacked! Thank you very much. I loved the other two images that you had in your list and am truly pleased to join them.

You are gorgeous and have some great images in your portfolio. I'd be fortunate to work with you myself. Unfortunately, nothing for my list... Yet.
I say yet because you look more than capable!

Thanks

I'm game. Take a look.

Eric, I love the Mabel photo. I love the Felicia photo even though she is more exposed than I would typically shoot. I think what you did right there is the focus of the shot is not on her cooch yet happens to be there.
Very nice!

I really like the Mabel shot and want to list it but I'm thinking a tighter crop would be in order or actually even an expansion of the canvas. it's still a beautiful image.

Your resolution on your newest three images is wonderful and I'd love to know what your lens choice was.

Thanks!

Maybe?

Dan,
Profoundly wonderful work!
You do something I envy and that's having a consistent style amongst your images.
I really like the Nevalina shot with her laying in the grass with the trees and mountain. Sometimes I wonder though when I shoot this type of image is the model going to look like a corpse disposed in the woods? Eek!

Yours does not and I like it do much I've listed it.

Sure

Gregor, like many of the others you have some great images in your portfolio. Here's what I'd like to see though... Less focus on your model's faces (I know it's hard when they're so pretty, trust me) and more focus on their figures!

You're nearly there for my list!

Thanks Don,

I've thought about adjusting Mable, but never got around to reopening the original. Of course I'm also afraid if I open it back up, I'll tinker with it too much.  Too bad she couldn't make the list.

I've recently switched from Canon to Nikon and been mostly shooting with the Nikon D3 with the Nikon 24-105. Seems to be my main studio set up.

Thanks again.
Eric

I completely understand. I use to oil paint, talk about constantly "over doing it" when it takes 6 months for the paint to dry it's easy to keep messing around with it!

and me too

Gregor, this is your better portfolio IMO. This style is definitely your forte'. If you're like me that's not what you want and you're constantly pushing yourself. No one wants to stuck in a niche.

Out of this portfolio I really like the rhus image but because I'm picky, to a fault, I'd prefer the natural horizon of it to be straight.

Excellent work all around. You're closest to my list out of this portfolio is the JennaKellen photo. It's one of my favorites of yours!

Wow.. rough list.
Love your port by the way. Beautiful artistic images!
Would be honored if you found one of mine note-worthy.
Thanks,
Charles

Charles you have found your muse with Nikki. Don't ever let her leave you as you two have created some great things, in fact, I believe overall Nikki's best work (including what I've done with her)!

I really like your light experiment images too. It reminded me of when I was in high school and use to light write messages to my girlfriend on film. Not to diminish what you're doing at all as you are far and away more advanced with anything this author ever did during his accelerated hormonal high school years!

I really like a lot of your photos/images but unfortunately I didn't find anything for my picky list.

Thank you though for letting me experience your portfolio!

Don,
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your time and thoughts greatly.
Yeah, she (Nikki) is a treasure and a joy to work with.. I'm shooting with her again this week.
I see everyday as a challenge to push yourself further past your comfort level. Hopefully I'll even make your picky list one day

Thank you again,
Charles
