Any thoughts appreciated...

Makes me wish I had a smoking fetish, too.

 

Great example of glamour photography, turned on edge, mixed with wit. Technically, this is an excellent shot, but it has more than that. Your model looks like she must have enjoyed the shoot--pictures that are fun to look at like this one are usually fun to take, too.

 

Got anything else from that shoot?

slick.

cool.

err.. what else?

basically it rocks.

 

Personal pref's would be:

 

To see the trailing smoke from the cigarette a bit more. It'd be a nice addition since your background is black.

 

Get a bit of a hair light on her. To pop out just a tad the shape of her head against the black background and perhaps a bit of a reflector up high to get some silky reflection around the crown of her head.

 

Just the .02 cents.

 

 

Very cool.

 

ciao,

yeah, you definately need more smoke and a hair light. And maybe, a bit more contrast so that the pinstripes she is wearing pop out a bit more. The look a bit grey. But that is assuming they are white pinstripes.... :)

I quite like this one - although I agree with the comments that it'd be nice to get more of the smoke visible.

 

Her expression is great, but I seem to get the impression that she was just holding the filter as a prop, and not actually smoking with it. It might work a little better if she looked like she was actually smoking it.

 

Very nice cleavage, I must say...

thanks all for your comments. There was a weak hairlight, but it was set for a head on shot. This was part of a spontaneous shoot and the position changed. She was smoking it, albeit gingerly (damn lipstick) but I like the tease of it. And yes, she has delicious cleavage.

Obviously your best shot in this series given all the comments. Like the others, I would suggest another light to pull her out of the background. Why not a background light? It would be allow your model to move more freely and stil create seperation. Just another suggestion. Oh, and her face seems a little fuzzy on close inspection.
