[Trever1t]

There, I added another....you can clearly see her fashion creation now!

If I get single again, I am going to come visiting! You know so many lovely Asian women... wow!

San Jose, LA, Houston and New Orleans are centers for Asian communities. The ladies around here LOVE their photos taken and we have a very large society of photographers. Too much competition for work but great for collaboration.

One for Charlie!

Also, I'm not convinced the shoes work. Brown shoes with pink and black lingerie? Hmm.

I strongly suspect if you were flat on your back, with one of those shoes planted on your chest... you would not complain about the color!


(Are you going to start adding Fashion Critiques to all posts now? lol!)

Actually I think that is a relevant critique. Maybe not so much for this shoot, in which the model is the fashion designer (so I assume she had total control of the wardrobe). But often enough the photographer is also the creative director and stylist, so knowing some basic tenets of fashion such as "don't mix black and brown" is helpful. As a guy you may not care about the shoe color, but likely many women would catch it, and if the whole look doesn't work that could drag down the specific article being featured.

hard to see her eyes, wait thats because of "other distractions".... GREAT SHOT =)

Personally, I hate the first image. Her face seems white, as if she put on way too much powder. And her expression annoys me. She looks like she just kinda fell onto the rug and you happened to catch it. If that makes sense. From the first image, hot is not what I'd say.

However, the second and third images are great. She looks hot in those.

well, not trying to pick on you but I don't care much for these. The poses are uncomfortable looking and very forced. Her skin is orange and her face is a different shade than her body. Her facial expressions in number 2 makes it look like she is scared of what is to come...ummm.....

Anyway, they look like porn shots. Is that the look you were going for? If so then you 'nailed' it.

I get the whole shoes issue. I do. I think the background's brightness is the main distraction. The white backdrop is a bit over-lighted and is starting to compete for visual attention. It's starting to get into the level I call "blowback", which with black-haired and darker-skin-toned people does not look as tranquil and clean as just a simple "white" background. The bright background white is not wrapping around the edges of the subject's body (which some people, like Zack Arias in his famous on-line white background tutorial, call "wrap"), but due to I think the distance between her and the background, the background is just looking very,very "hot". It's causing a faint purple line around her hair's outline, and a little bit on her posterior and shoes as well, but not so clearly noticeable. I think overall, her face and hair appear too dark in the shadowed parts of the hair, and these are all in need of a bit more frontal lighting, to offset the exposure that was undoubtedly needed to keep that background from utterly blowing out to nuclear-white levels. Her eyes look very dark, with no sparkle, and her hair "plugs up" due to the lack of frontal lighting. I think these would all look better if there were more light coming from the front, in relation to how much light there is on the background...the difference between the dark, front side and the bright background is just a bit too wide a difference to give these a really authentic bright,light-and-airy feeling.

She is gorgeous and designs great lingerie!
I don't have anything to add to the critique except to say nice work.

Yeah.. I am Asian and she is definitely not my type . Yeah, sorry Bill.. the shot does not look classy enough for me. Kinda agree with paigew. The pose I feel like she is trying too hard. Try and find Sue Bryce workshop video when you can. You will learn a lot with posing women.
