Head Shots 21/6

Got a couple of blown out areas on the first one (forehead, cheeks, etc.). Both are great poses. Not sure which I like better!

Both are great poses, the first is quite suductive. Other than the slightly blown areas there are excellent compositions.

Both are realy great photos. I like the second one better...the expression on the first almost has a hint of anger or boredom...

i dont see blown out areas on my monitor...
they looks awesome.
the swishy-shishy jacket was a good choice for the first one, it's kind of haptic and you can easily imagine what it sounds like sliding over bare skin. sexy!

Yea, Bobman! You've come a long way!

There are no blown out areas on my monitor either. I like the triangular highlight on the near cheek in #1 and I like the light ratio.

I wonder if #2 could have been improved had the light ratio been larger so that the wrinkles on the neck would have been more obscured in shadow.

Bobman, you can obtain a maniquin bust and a wig for use when practicing your head-and-bust lighting technique. Models are usually too dynamic and wrestless to practice on.
