Russian Beauty: Tanya at the river

[jaicatalano]

I am going to be totally honest. I am not saying a damn thing. My wife might be reading.

nice!

And here I am thinking you were pure consigliere in the photo world - you get your hands dirty

I defintely like the second better - looks like her sweet spot is a little tuck on the chin(or shoot down) and seems to favor her left side. There's also a slight shadow cast from her right forearm that made me look twice and wonder why her arm was so. She's just pure appeal...solid!

Yeah...the two sets of straps...I suggested she ditch the tank top and just go straight bikini! But she wasn't comfortable with that look. This summer, a lot of the younger gals are wearing this "bikini top under tank top" look around here...I think it's horrible...I mean Katy Perry said it best, when she layed down the law: "Daisy Dukes, bikinis on top."--there is NO mention of a tank top on top in that song!

omg.. Don't get me started on this one. I hate that bra-strap look, and not just in photos. And it's so popular right now! All the time I see other girls wearing a tank with a bra or 2 (TWO) tanks with a bra, so they have 3 straps running over their shoulders. It looks like a$$! And most of the time the girl doesn't even have enough boobage to justify a bra in the first place. Lol.. And ya, I know, maybe they're just being super modest, I guess. Iunno..

Thanks for the kind words to those who have posted. Jaemie, I hear your rant and I feel your pain [shades of Bill Clinton! zOMG!] I was looking around, and this multi-strap nonsense is rampant this summer season...Swimsuit top, MOSTLY with ties at the neck, BEING WORN under tank tops, under tank dresses, under baby-doll dresses...OMG...not sure who's pushing this "LOOK", but I like you, and pgriz, and probably others, am not fond of the multi-strap look, especially for photography; it clutters the photo up too much,and I am sure will look very 2010's within a short time period. Now...Madonna's bra-worn-on-the-outside look OTOH..oh, wait...that was wayyy too long ago..nevermind. Could this be the start of an Old Navy conspiracy, designed to sell MORE SUMMER TOPS and swimwear separates?

It's very much an Old Navy (and others) marketing strategy. And I like and have some of their clothing, but you'll never catch me wearing a bikini top or anything else under a tank top or a dress or whatever. Ick. See - their dastardly plan has no effect on me. Wahahahahaha!

And, as I mentioned the other day, I think you did a fine job with this model. The tight framing is the only thing I might want to do differently, besides yanking the bikini top. But that's her choice - what can you do. Why she was wearing so much clothing in that heat is unfathomable.

Listen to you two! Could you sound any more OLD?

"Kids these days and their bikini tops and tank top combinations!"
