Hi.  I am looking for feedback on the first eight images in my new work album.  They are actually four images, both in color and black and white.  I would like feedback on the images themselves, and whether you like the color or black and white better.  Comments on my other work is always welcome, but I am looking specifically for these images.  I will have some more of this model soon as well.

Thanks

Hi Phil, Some models aren't really models with hair dyes 7 months removed, to bangs that allow for one type of hair styling , fingers in mouth, hands across legs, no posing by you,posing is a free for all. you're not shooting for features. Belly button is a huge feature and not showcased for one. You don't want models leaning in . leaning in.
Model photographer with experience would ever use logos on images for models anyway. It is so do not do. Those doing it do not understand the purpose of a model image. You see Elvis Presley's, Frank Sinatra's, Monroe's and Ali with their photographer logos on images. Of course not. They distract, they show lack of respect for the model ad script is the worst.

Model leaning is showcasing zero features. why learn. hair is not posed to wrinkles. Think of purpose before the model comes out with such an outfit and then before you click. there isn't anything working here except location.

2nd picture shows us?? hands distracting, lingerie bottoms have no form or thought going into looking professional. Off balance pose, poor cropping, bad energy of a cute model. head pose real bad and open mouth is the fish look. harsh shadows on models legs, hair isn't posed

Hair across face a disaster. Shows no understanding of model photography. why are you letting models wear rings for glamour unless doing a biker chick jacket or man t look. Rings are a total nono and wedding engagement rings to wedding bands are like, decided last second to pose for a pic. Robe is all wrinkles, bent wrist and when doing a robe shot you want the features like the V from the leg up, this is a shot of fingers and messy robe that doesn't work to even shoot. One super pretty model. really don't like that light growning from her head or the wire left in image. Focus is off here and elsewhere.

Models appear very comfortable with you which is huge.Black and whites can't work unless shot is sharp and shot for features

last bottom tug looks like she is about to go poop. Shoulders up, bent wrists, bad posture, just done wrong in all ways. Got to pose the hair too and no big leans
