This is Rita (top) and Alona, ages 18 and 20, who dropped by one day

recently. Your ratings and critiques are invited and most welcome.

Rita, top, is age 20. Alona is 18.

This is Alona's first experience at such modeling, thought she has been a model; Rita is the stylist for this photo as well as makeup artist.

If Alona were positioned on the couch against the arm and looking past Rita's knee towards her face, the viewer might not have to consider your most previously posted image. As with all your images this too, is an example to learn from.

Cheers.

I think your comment has merit.

I didn't plan on shooting Rita and Alona together . . . . but Rita came prepared.

They did 'dress' together, in case I were to shoot Rita alone, but the idea of shooting them together occurred suddenly and there were only three shots, almost identical.

Rita is so glamorous and beautiful she almost sucks the air out of the room, (or steals the thunder, if you will) so I retired her until after Alona had to leave, after the three photos, so there was little time for experimenting.

Alona proved to be a more than worthy model, but it was her first time in such shooting (nude, but not visibly 'nude' here, as she appears 'clothed' here, though she was visibly nervous, so I shot her during makeup, during dressing, and during playful times with Rita preparing, to loosen her up and this was part of the process.

By the time for the 'real' photos, there already were 174 'real' photos 'in the can' so to speak, and pretty good ones at that, of the 'street' variety -- showing 'backstage' and she had overcome her nervousness over being nude.

(there are many ways to 'skin a cat'. . . . )

;-))

I think your idea is helpful, since I am inexperienced in posing glamour and will consider it strongly next time I undertake such an adventure.

Which is to say, very soon, since my skills have taken a quantum leap -- witness the above.
