christopher_g._dunn__i_don 0 Posted September 8, 2002 I do like this lighting. How did you manage it? Was it done in PS? Chris... Link to comment
james_mogul 0 Posted September 8, 2002 Thanks. It was done with one head with barn doors about 5.5 feet off the floor to the right and slightly behind the model, shot throught a 30x72 inch diffusion panel just outside the frame. A black panel to model left to absorb light. A second head shot though a narrow grid on the BG. In hindsight, maybe the light could have been softer, maybe with a softbox or another layer of diffusion. Link to comment
phoenix on fire 0 Posted September 8, 2002 Very nice! I think some more light on the back wouldn't have damaged your pic! Link to comment
wcroninger 0 Posted September 8, 2002 James, the combination of camera angle, lens choice and lighting makes this a unique variation on a common pose. Very well done, thank you Bill Link to comment
critter 0 Posted September 8, 2002 Kudo's on the lighting - I particularly like the way you lit the background to offset the shadow side. Good job. Link to comment
chris_hawkins 0 Posted September 9, 2002 I like the pose and the overall image. A few suggestions / nitpicks / comments... Crop her neck out completely. Her breasts are slightly washed out. Her pubic area looks recently shaved and a little irritated. The undulations on her left hip add a realism to the image often lacking in nudes. The change in background from right to left helps the image in ways I don't understand. Link to comment
dougityb 0 Posted September 9, 2002 The lighting is on the way. Pretty good. I would suggest a large, thin reflector on the right to kick a highlight along her back and butt. A lot of the problems pointed out by previous posters would be eliminated, or subdued with this converted to black and white. The hand is what bothers me the most, but that's not from the pose, it's from the 50 mm lens. Link to comment
fotoman 0 Posted September 12, 2002 Very nice. I live in Seattle, and for some reason I haven't met her yet? Beuatiful! Link to comment
kasigi 0 Posted September 12, 2002 Simple, good shadows, good use of her figure. The colors are natural. Well done. Link to comment
hkbmac 0 Posted September 13, 2002 I would have liked to see less DOF, throw that background out of focus... Link to comment
