Untitled

Overall I like this folder. The concept is good and the photographs are all well executed. However, I have a couple of comments regarding things that I would have done differently (not that you should have, these are just my preferences).

1. It seems as though everyone who has done some digital imaging has a few images where the subject or a key element is in color and the rest of the photo is in B&W. The first time I saw this I thought that it was pretty clever and I really liked it (BTW, that was a B&W print with a flower in the middle that was hand colored). But computers have made this technique so easy that images of this sort have become ubiquitous and each time I see it now it seems less clever and more like a cheap Photoshop trick. With that said it can still be effective, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Here I think I would have prefered monochrome.

2. The lingerie on the model, especially the heels, combined with the use of color give these images a cheesecake feel. Perhaps that was what you were going for and there's nothing wrong with that. I think that I would have prefered a fully nude model in order to emphasize the dichotomy between the natural and the industrial. The lingerie and the color tend to focus the viewer's attention on the model rather than on the contrast between the hard, angular nature of the factory fixtures and the soft smoothness of the model's body. As they are these images make me think of a dancer in a topless bar (in many cities these establishments are relegated to industrial zones) who took a walk during one of her breaks and forgot to get dressed first. The focus is on the model rather than on the contrast between her and her surroundings and they seem incongruous.

Again, I think the concept is very good and technically the photos are very well done.

Just my $.02.
