Hotel rooms are generally pretty bad. They're too damn small, even a suite is very tight working conditions, and the decor and furnishings always scream HOTEL so you're pretty much straight away into "working girl" territory. They ARE convenient and rentable, though.

Get a suite, and bring some props along. Some throw pillows, a comforter, maybe even some backdrops.

This was a suite lol but granted it wasn't a very nice one...took it on a friends recommendation. I am working on a budget and it shows. Next time I will have a very spacious and less busy place.

Traver1t: awesome work, but be careful because with this type of work you will get all the haters and know it alls. If it looks good then thats all that matters. thanks for sharing.

Love the latest shot. It's a really good shot and I can't think of anything wrong with it. Composition is great, looks sharp, eyes are nice, good use of dof, nice pose, great lighting.... just simply spot on.

Loving the last the best Bill. She seems comfortable, relaxed and playful .

Not going to recycle what Charlie said, but you should check out Lake Berryessa, and give a padaone a few pointers....model included?

 

[Trever1t]

I have never been there yet....sounds good to me.

I've had decent luck at B&Bs, the decor is usually less hotel and more luxury. Also, sometimes they have private outdoor areas, a patio, balcony, or garden. Sometimes they're.. private enough, if not strictly private. That might depend on how game the model is I took a couple nice photos at the Applewood Inn, up in Sonoma someplace, a few years ago.

Eric, since you are just starting out maybe you should just learn to accept criticism with a little bit of grace and appreciation instead of always trying to blame the people giving critique. Trever doesn't need your pep talk, he is always more then willing to critique others work as well as accept critique in a respectful manner. Believe it or not ewick those "haters and "know-it-alls" might be able to teach you something someday even though it sounds like you have it all down pat.

I love critique! Just keep it objective

In #1 if the model had just moved to the right one step you would have blocked that soap dispenser.

I could easily clone it out too.

True. I'll just go climb back in my rookie hole now. I thought the pics all looked good, I guess C&C is not my thing.

 

[Trever1t]

I meant no offense to you TruckerDave! It does seem to be issue for a few people but honestly I don't see it as a detraction but I can appreciate that you do.

No worries on offending me, I didnt even notice it until somebody else mentioned it. I was concentrating on the lovely lady was just trying to add something. I probably shouldn't as i dont see problems in many of the photos people post on this site but get ripped to shreads in the C&C anyway.

Doing C&C makes you think, and comparing what you think to what others think.. helps you to learn, and see what you didn't see before! So it is a good thing to do, TruckerDave... even though sometimes it may seem intimidating...
