derrick_morin___fallon__ne Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Nice goose bumps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silent1 Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 I think you need to turn up the thermostat in your studio; that poor model is obviously freezing! B) Aside from the gooseflesh, though, the lighting might be a little hard -- depends on what you're trying to do. If you're just after emphasizing the gooseflesh, you've hit it. If you're after something more related to the female figure, you might need to soften the focus a little, use a fill light, and/or give the model a big cup of hot cocoa...

jkantor Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 However the bra-strap line isn't helpful. For abstract nudes, composition is the most important element, followed by tone and texture. The composition here is ok, but not really stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igord Posted October 4, 2003 Author Share Posted October 4, 2003 You are right about the bra strap - we didn't have too much time. This is not a temperature - this is electricity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mart_van_genugten Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 I like this. I like the goose bumps, they add to the effect of realism instead of glamour. However I would try to separate the model more from the context, leave out or blacken the background and probably use more lighting sources to subjectively detail parts of the body and increase local contrast.

EricM Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 are they what you were trying to achieve? i prefer harder lighting, more shadows, black and white with a half dozen zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard_clapsaddle Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 Realism? Glamour? I find all three shots very sensual! (The goosebumps, by the way, only add to the effect.) Wasn't it your intention to make them so sensual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igord Posted October 13, 2003 Author Share Posted October 13, 2003 These pictures were to be "non-erotic". We did it on 35 mm colour (bw in PS) just to set the lights before the session for a calendar. I must say that this what we did the next day was much better (but we have worked for 12 hours). I will send photos with pleasure after scanning the negs. Regards Igor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance_warren Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Igor, I like your ideas and definitely think they have potential. I completed a series of abstract semi-nudes earlier this year and, while only one of them would make someone look twice by itself, arranging the three together in a matted frame made the series dramatic - it definitely attracts that second-glance reaction. Maybe something like that would work with these three? I'd love to see what else you've worked on with the model - the subtlety of the compositions is really very nice. But yeah, warm up the room a bit man :) Minor goosebumps definitely add a texture that accentuates black and white nude portraits like these, but they're so defined I'm inclined to put a coat on just looking! I just think they're too distracting from the good lines and nice lighting you've captured. Keep up the good work - and the thermostat. --Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
