Model Shots - Gritty Black and White - A little skin

[NJMAN]

Hi, I have a few new model shots to post. I was going for bold shadows and highlights, with a gritty earthy look and feel. Thanks for looking.

I thought she was pulling her leg up in the third one at first

Man, I haven't seen your name pop up in a while.

I really like the lines and shadows you are creating with the back shots. Her hands do look slightly masculine though. Perhaps have her to close the gap between her fingers a little.

I know you were going for a gritty, earthy look, but #3 shows a lot of playfulness and maybe a bit naughty. #4 is too much 'up the nose' for me.

Great stuff man. Thanks for sharing and I hope there will be more to follow.

The first and last ones what jumped out at me was what appears to be a rough liquefy job on her left hip. If that isn't from photoshop, it sure does look odd.

I like this series. I have been working on a black and white series of athletes for two years now, and a few of these remind me of what I have been shooting. Just something about black and white shot in this fashion that always works. Very nice.

NJ my man! Probably intentional with the hair but I really am longing to see her face.

Good to see around these parts again.

No liquify there.

Thanks, appreciated!

Thanks camz! Yep, the hair was intentionally meant to be wild. Thanks, and good to see your work too!

Great stuff wonderful set of photographs. I like your all shoots very much.

Very nice. I like the strength in her body. The pose in #2 is unusual and evocative. Are you adding a vignette? I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I see it and that usually means it's a bit of a distraction. The hands in #5 are beautiful.

Yes, I added a vignette. I do it to help bring attention to the subject. Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated.
