Got back out to Treasure Island near San Francisco for a shoot yesterday. It was a blast! I'd have several of these shots floating around in my head for over a month now, so it was nice to finally see them become a reality. Plus I had a fantastic model, who didn't mind broken glass everywhere, and heaps of dust. My favorites are #1 and #3

1. My favorite

I like 1 a lot. I don't really get 2.

i like em both, quite a bit. Fantastic model look at those eyes! I like the back light behind her on two, my only wish was that that thing wasn't sticking up out of her head. But beggars cant be choosers. Her feet, look a little strange in the tones somehow maybe from the conversion? Maybe they were a little red from her shoes or something and the bw conversion gave them a odd tone? More noticeable in the one hanging down in two on her toes. Nice job anyway, great model, thanks for posting.

The last two are good but I like 1 a lot more

Beautiful stuff, Austin. Where is the backlight source in #1? Loving that rim light.

Both? Just making sure you saw #1 As for the cross-bars, that was a creative choice on my part. I noticed them and thought "oh man, I should avoid those coming out of her head" but eventually decided I wanted to use them. I'd hoped that the vertical and horizontal bars would act more like leading lines, helping frame her in the window. For her feet, I believe she might have either had A) a really bad sunburn, or B) a skin condition that made some pretty dark blotches. Given the grungy nature of the shoot, I didn't think it fit things to edit it out

Thanks! #1 is all ambient light. The rim came from a wall to her left, which was bouncing back quite a bit of light

If you get another chance to shoot her, she seems to have sort of a classic look going imo (just my opinion). i wonder if you could turn out some great work with her going to the opposite side of the spectrum as the grunge look. Just seems to be that potential there.

#1 is beautiful, #2 gives an odd vulnerable vibe with the tight confines, #3 is strong/powerful, I prefer #1 but the other two are confronting shots

I think you made a solid decision on the bars, and her seating platform..it all comes together and looks deliberate, thoughtful, planned out well. I too admit that #2 is a bit confusing, and seems "compartmentalized"...not having been at the location, I don't fully "get" #2 either. I do however love,love,love the way you are recently this low-light type B&W stuff!

I hear you, we'll probably be working together again and going that way. She's done a fair amount of shoots, most of which go that classic route, so we wanted to do something a bit different this go around

Thanks Derrel, I always appreciate your feedback! I can see how #2 doesn't connect as well, really we were all just impressed with the graffiti in that room particularly, so we have that context. I didn't do the best job of capturing that.

So happy folks are liking them, especially #1

Woohoo!

Great stuff, have you tried to trim the first one on the right?

Not sure which one you're referring to, the first first one, or the second first one? At the moment I'm pretty happy with all the framing

This is a beautiful set! My favorites are in this order, #1,#3,#2, But they are all really great!!!
