John, I think the feature that makes your photos outstanding is that you are able to get your models with the "right" expression. They look "congruent", their expression is not contradicting the rest of the picture. And they look kinda spontaneous. Believe me, it's pretty refreshing. :-)
There's a consistency between body language, face expression, and general mood. I really REALLY appreciate it.
And I think there's no need to talk about "technical" issues, as your pics are usually very well executed, with no major technical flaws... which BTW I don't give much importance to, if they're functional to the photo (or at least don't wreak havoc with the "message"). You seem to use the "right" technique for your photos. And there's a particular "lightness" to them... I could tell your photos from the thumbnail before I see the author. You got a style.
That makes you my favorite nude portraits photographer here. :-)
Keep up the good job.

How very kind and generous Davide, thank you very much.  If any merit there is, it is due in large part also to these wonderful young ladies that accept to pose and be themselves in front of the camera. I really appreciate you comment and she will too, thank you once again. 

As Davide noted, even without seeing the signature a "John Peri" portrait is so very distinctive they are instantly recognizable. And while your assertion that it is all in the models doesn't do YOU justice as it moves across different models. Clearly it is your talents in directing the subjects, getting the equipment and layouts right that make your style so distinctive.

Beautiful image here, as always.

Thank you Douglas, truly.  It does take two to tango, and a strong feeling of complicity and understanding is necessary between the two. Any misstep by one will inevitably affect the work of the other, thus it remains very much a dual effort throughout. I guess in time a certain style may also emerge on both sides of the camera, and that is always pleasing to read as it underlines a vision that one has, model or photographer.  As regards this young lady for example, I could not invent or re-create her charm and that is entirely her due    .. : -) 

As many of my models are friends, they follow these pages and are always pleased to see the encouragements you make. Thank you very much once again, John 

A beautiful shot with her lovely expression, John!

With best regards,

Ruud.

Excellent work! (6)

John,

  I particularly like the fact that the background is out-of-focus here.  It helps keep the attention on the model.  I notice you often submit images without titles.  Maybe your supporters would like to suggest titles - a sort of contest with each such picture.  My offering for this one is "Oh, you say that to all the girls!"

My regards,

Jerry

!!!  ... my apartment is bugged !

A most charming candid style portrait John. I love her natural smile I do. The decisive moment as your countryman would have said.

About titles... I keep several books by my favorite poets close at hand and when naming a piece I flip through one of them reading along until the 'correct' title appears. Not that your images of beautiful women need the extra viewing time but my wife, an artist in her own right, has me convinced that an intriguing title, that one has to think about, causes the viewer to linger longer over a work than they otherwise would. Not that you asked, but there you have it.
