I love this shot! The color palette is so subtle and sexy, and the combination of the wall, sheet, skin, and violin make for incredible curves. This shot is what I would call "painterly."

Silhouette is nice, though Sean and always joke that this is the peeing pose. Lighting is a bit harsh, and the green-light/brown-wood combo make it feel very 1980's. But that stylized look could work for you if that's what you're going for.

EXCELLENT! Again, faceoff, your colors are great...the hair & dress match the wall exactly! And that brick texture will look great with anything. Watch the leveling of your camera though...I think this shot would be even hotter if the lines were straight on the ground and the wall. Great shot!

Ah, Tiara. I shot her for SHOW. Great model. The lighting is clean, but a bit flat. Perfectly commercial, but not nearly as artistic as your other shots.

Overall, great stuff. That said, you've really got some good instincts, so I would challenge yourself to play with the lighting and colors more. Shots #1 & #3 are fantastic...and in the tricky world of glamour, you achieved something very difficult: to convey sexiness without cheesiness.

Nice work.

thanks Nick! With that wall shot "ICE" I lost the entire shoot due to my PC crashing... that is the only image that I have left. I was going for an 80's feel with the other one as well... for some reason the model had me in an old school PLAYBOY type mode.

To be honest...where I am, it is SO hard to get everything lined up to even attempt to create some quality images, especially when you only shoot every blue moon... I am going to try to get back into my use of colors this weekend if I can...

That one ICE shot is good enough for your portfolio if you just straighten out the horizon. Even if you lost every other shot from that shoot, be glad this is the one that you have. It's great.
