Rosio - Swimsuit Model

Trever1t · May 17, 2015

I'm feeling pretty sick, I have some stomach flu type thing and I had a commitment for my 3rd shoot this weekend to keep. I thought about cancelling but she traveled 1.5 hours and already paid for a hotel room so I did my best to stay on my feet. Glad I did.

I would like to see just a little bit more detail in her hair, and in the bikini bottom's fabric. Not a lot, just a bit more. And maybe a tiny bit of highlight brightness reduction. Not that it's a big deal, but it looks like some color fringing on her right leg's edge, a sort of blue line. I dunno...it's tough to shoot and edit and always nail the processing on the same day...and a day or week or month later, a person can look at any image and say, "You know, I think this and this and this might work better!"...so it's difficult to really say, on a shot as already polished as this, what the issues really are--if any...I mean...it's already 95% perfected...we're looking at nits now...with a magnifier...

Hope you get well soon. If you want to apply your photography skills to some really stunning latina models you should visit Colombia.

First, very commendable on your part--shooting despite feeling like crap, especially since the model had serious road time and paid for a hotel room. And despite that you got some lovely results.

Second, I agree with Derrel's points about detail in the hair and the bottom--it's very easy for smooth cloth on a butt to make it look bigger so even wrinkles of some kind will help.l

Third, I like the handrail as a diagonal line that adds a dynamic feel to the shot. I'd like her to twist at the waist to you just a little bit--it would be a little bit thinning and also emphasize the hour-glass nature of the pose and her form.
