I plead the 5th

Let me know what you think about the lighting and pose. Framing,

cropping? anything?

Ok... since my model shots tend to get more views than my concert shots let me try this. Please go in and comment/rate the images in my concert folder. It's right here Concert Photos :)

 

Thanks :)

I like the pose and the outfit but find the background kills the sexyness of the shot.

Concert photos seem awful dark to me. This photo is a good effort at what you are attempting.

The look she has is a mixture of tense and scared, like she expects something bad to happen. Hands are in defensive posture, in front of her body, crumpling up a piece of her clothing. She doesn't look like she is about to take her top off, and she doesn't look seductive, either.

 

Hey, Tom, don't scare your models so :-)

 

She looks scared...And the way she is holding the peice of cloth looks like she it about to tie a knot or something. From the way she is holding the cloth it looks like she is tense.

I Agree with the others that have posted on this image so far. The model looks scared or something along those lines. I don't think the pose is bad, just the facial expression.. She needs to relax! I know, it's easier said than done!

Sexy?-Yes. Tense?-No. Apprehensive or expectant?-Yeah! It reminds me of a Playboy cover from years gone by-which should be a good thing.

The picture does appeal to me - but her eyes do have a somewhat scared appearance. If they were looking elsewhere, it could completely change the shot. Other than that, I like the colour and composition. Kudos!

I kind of think the slightly scared look goes with the wringing of her shirt rather well. Like she was going to pose nude but now doesn't want to. So kudos to you! (Assuming this is what you tried for....)

 

'sexy' shots need environment...in my opinion. Flat white seamless doesnt create a mood. Pose is awkward, arms & expression too tense, model should relax arms/hands. If you want top to look more revealing, dont have model pull the top, instead have one strap loosely slipping off the shoulder...its more natural and soft that way.

I think the expression on her face is actually quite a submissive expression. As though as if she were trying to please someone.

Thanks Kevin I agree.

But I think that's also makes her a kind of natural not looking a professional model.

sexy model does help in any photo, she looks good and composed well, nice lighting again

This my favourite of the folder because it has the most expression. As you commented, Tom, (black swimsuit), so many photos of people,(especially models) are devoid of expression. Why is that? Is it considered a more sophisticated art form to strip subjects of their humanity?

Yes, I think she is scared, and that leaves me a bad feeling. I would like to know about the situation. Maybe it was her first time. Manuel.
