How much do you hate this? (NSFW)

[PinkDoor]

So, since we've had to see this. . . it would only be the RIGHT thing to do to show us some of the good shots!

 

[PinkDoor]

Maybe even do a pp blue (I know, I know) on the background?

Do a who what?

Also fix the dark spot just above her crotch on her outfit.

THAT... has been driving me mothereffing CRAZY for HOURS now.

I can't figure out a good way to get rid of it without discoloring the area. Any suggestions?

::jumps off balcony::

Yes. . . tried to do a fix on the photo, but my downloaded version was too poppy to edit. Do you have a lightening brush? First lighten the area a bit. Then use the paint brush, color select a lighter color from beside the dark spot, and paint on with a low opacity. It should help..

I'm not even really sure where to START with the car shadowing................ any suggestions for that?

A luminance mask is what I would go to start.

or just reshoot the damn thing with her draped over the hood and get rid of the awkward 'hey, big boy, you got 2 dolla, me love you long time' pose.

Damn you beat me too it. Was going to say put her on the hood.

Next time put her on the car, the hood specifically. Or when in doubt and you need advice on how to make a woman look slutty, take a straight man with you. When he seems excited you are doing it right.

Yeah, E this isn't working. You have two subjects, and they're not working together nicely. She's too small in the frame, the car is cut at an awkward angle. Place her in front of the car, in line with it so that she's the center of attention and the car is a beautiful background....well that's how i'd work it.

Not a good placement of the sun.

I thought you said there was a car in the photo

skin is way too red

 

[Ernicus]

It's a shame because she has killer legs and is overall sexy. I'm guessing re shoot is not an option..but it's a shame 'cause I know if she'd have given you creative control you could come out with a winner.

oh yeah...clone out the propane tank at the back of the car. ;-)

 

[Ernicus]

oh yeah, if you are going to keep it, I'd get rid of the armpit roll and the roll above her hand on her hip. They are not terrible...but distracting.

This is the only other one I've posted from this shoot:

I'm not sure what a lightening brush is?

There are shots of her on the hood, but in general they're all sh*tilly exposed, so I'm not about to edit another one right now for the sake of finding out what I should do about them in general, haha.

The goal wasn't to make her look slutty... although that's hard to do with the outfit that she was wearing... which had me groaning in my head when I saw it. My goal is NOT to be a Playboy style boudoir photographer. :er: As a result this whole "car modeling" thing was a turn off to me from the start. :er:

I'm gonna assume that you think the second image is the edited image............. it's not. That's the original. The edited is the first one.

Right. I saw that after I exported

Thanks :sillysmi:

What do you use for pp?

 

[paigew]

I am sure she will love this since its her mans car and all . I would try to clone out some of the oil on the driveway.

 

[unpopular]

Did you use your spot meter? That will fix anything!

If you find yourself doing a lot with natural light, you may want to look into a scrim. They are more typically used in motion picture, still photographers rely a lot more on artificial light - but I enjoyed using the one I built. Setting up a diffusion scrim is easier and cheaper than over powering the sun, and in this case I think it'd just make more sense.
