They look pretty good man. The seamless (you using seamless?) looks good. It's not completely blown on the right side in 1 or 2, but it's damn close. I think you did a pretty good job overall.

Edit. 4th one is NICE. Definitely good job on that one. Are you using two background lights? If so, how much higher exposed are they than your main? I'm just wondering. I've been on this Zack Arias kick lately and his seamless is awesome. He says he almost always makes his bg's 1-1/2 stops more than his main. Sometimes 2 stops, but kind of last resort-ish.

Thanks! Edit: Added a 4th one in B&W

All are great.

The only thing that bugs me slightly on #4 is her feet. That's the first things I noticed and to me they look like bunny ears.

I think this must have been an extremely fun shoot! Overall technically speaking I think the images are quite sound.

Just for future thought, I might use a select palate of colors that mix better. Think a triad of colors, this way you are ensured that when they start getting mixed the images just keep looking better rather than what ends up happening in the second shot and the colors mix in not so flattering colors.

Of course I'm not sure what you were going for so all I know is this is exactly what you wanted. Just some food for thought.

Great shots! You had to be jazzed editing these! I'd love to know what kind of light setup you used. Care to share?

I agree with shmne with paint color. Nice job though. You probably have earlier photos where the paint colors are not messy yet? I would have approached this totally different. Maybe do cleaner line graphics on her face like african tribal :

Then when it is almost over you can go messy and put paint everywhere.

Why B&W when the entire point of the paint was for the color?

Why B&W when the entire point of the paint was for the color?

that was my initial thought as well.
it doesnt KILL the image, and i guess you can always go back to the color version. i would consider messing with the vibrance and sat, maybe pull the skin back a bit, and pop the paint?
not quite selective color, but muted for sure.

nice set. i've only done one paint shoot, and it was a BLAST.

well done.:thumbup:
