Testing grounds for my "Female Calendar" project.

Something is off to me. They are not very sharp to me.

AHHH a bed...thats a GREAT IDEA! Heres one more...kind of a sample of what im working with. I dont wanna push the NSFW area... so yeah.

I havent spent a lot of time editing, just burning the background a little bit since im shooting on a paper backdrop.

I agree with Big Mike on the need for a hair light on this one. I would also go with a less visually distracting bra as in one with no pattern, slimmer straps and perhaps a different colour. ( Needless to say, on a serious shoot, I would ditch the bra totally and post it in one of the other photo forums)

A couple new photos....

now keep in mind these are just test shots til we get down to the themes

This is a pretty good shot. I would improve the hair exposure and/or lighting in that area, even the lighting so that the area across the breasts does not have whiter skin than the rest of the body, de-emphasize some small moles and crop off the boney look at the bottom of the image.

You mentioned these are "special xmas gift to her bf". Hope they agreed that you're sharing them with us. nice photos though

 

[cameramike]

new ones are looking great! You are defiantly getting the lighting down. If you are going to have her in white with a white backdrop try adding a backlight to seperate her from the backdrop.

This chap does some good videos on lighting, this is a one light video but there is a two light and 3 light

I agree with all of this. And instead of her playing with her already short skirt I mean we can see how cheeky it is. I would ditch the bra and try bringing her left arm up to cover herself. The bra is a bit distracting.

Nice pics some seem a bit soft too like Schwetty mentioned but I know this is just the testing phase.

I think these are a great start but you seem to have the same problem ive been having with some of my models. The pictures all have the same grumpy expressions She has the same look on her face in every image. I've been having the same issues with my girls. What I do is try to get em to chatting it up with myself or my assistant to make them forget they are half naked and not look like they are about to get a flu shot. Know what I mean?

I had to smooth her out due to being cold (goose bumps).

Be kind to your model and keep your studio somewhat warmer than you normally would. She is the one that needs to be comfortable. You being a bit too warm just goes with the territory.
