A few model portraits

Did a shoot with a local MM model a month or so ago, thought I'd share them you you guys.

I don't have these last couple as a low res on my site, so I need to grab off facebook. Might have some compression artifacts.

I'm diggin' the light on the first 2 posted. She's got an interesting face.

 

[LizardKing]

I was just going to say the same... the light in the first 2 is great!

 

[JamesRPhoto]

She does definitely have an interesting face, I'd shoot more with her but we had a rather interesting "falling out" if you will afterwards due to some dishonesty and attitude issues on her part, which is really a shame because most models around here look pretty generic and I have a lot of concepts that i think she would work perfectly for.

What are the opinions on the haze shots? Some love it, some don't connect with that style, I'm curious as to what the general consensus of this forum is towards it.

#1 is really good. The rest look like yall were just playing around. But I agree that she has an interesting face.

First one is awesome.

 

[Big Mike]

Very nice.

After the first four, I was going to ask if you shot any in a vertical orientation...there is a lot of dead space in those ones, although not terribly so.

The hazy/low contrast type images seem to be quite popular these days...I'm seeing that all over. I don't mind it, but I still like to see a nice sharp image with lots of contrast and 'pop'.

I like them, for 1&2 though I found the fade to black at the bottom distracting.

1 and 4 for me.
Nice shots over all.

Gah, you caught it. I'd been shooting with speedlites so much I forgot that my B800 max sync speed was 1/200 instead of 1/250, you're the first to mention it.

I saw it too. I thought that might have been the issue. Pretty girl.

i think it kind of works with 1 though, there's a faint vignette all around her, just because of the way its lit and the fact that the background is dark. i'm a sucker for pictures with tons of contrast, so i'm not a fan of the hazy ones. i agree that the first one is the best in the series.

I like the first, second, and something about the fourth (I think it's her expression. It's a lot different than in the others).

If only she'd leave those damn eyebrows alone.

The only one I don't like is the last one. The wide angle makes her close arm very fat. It reminds me of one of my old teacher's arms. She had elephantiasis.

I really like no.4.
