For this shot, the subject wanted a portrait type shot with an

exotic feel. So for this shot, I approached it much like I would a

swim shot. Put this model in a bathing suit and on the beach and

this same technique would produce incredible swimwear shots.

 

My question is, would this technique work for more extreme portraits

of everyday people, or should this be reserved for calenders and

magazine covers?

great eyes and exp...did u use flash?

Corey, you could probably put Jenna in a dempsie dumpster and she would look good, however most people don't look normal when posed exotically. For my personal taste, most look better when they are doing what comes naturally for them and the face is relaxed. JMHO

A fill flash was used, you can see the catch light in her eyes.

 

And believe it or not this is very natural for her, at least she plays it off as feeling natural.

Corey, that is my exact point, Jenna's look is always natural no matter the pose. That is what separates them, from us. Thank goodness.
