Very well done composition. I like the sepia tone as well. Your sister is a natural!

You are sooooo right! I was actually in the area on an engineering job, and contacted this model as well as several others through onemodelplace.com! Some were with little experience, some, like the one in this shot have years, but all worked out well.

It was a hot day...Steff decided to cool off in the surf.

Windy day at the beach.

The material we shot inside didn't do much for me. It was just typical workout stuff. It was a windy overcast day, so we headed for the beach to see what we could come up with. This was the shot the gym used for a new poster. It does look more like a fashion shot, but it worked!

Yes, I used just a touch of fill flash. This was part of a shoot for the restaurant in the background. The model wanted to do some shots that had a more "dark" tone, so I used one fill to the left of the camera and it worked! The restaurant in the background is the Strawberry Mansion in Melbourne, Florida....some of the best breakfasts I've ever tasted!

Thanks for the comments,

Good eye on the ear-rings...she did take all her jewelry off later when she took the board out....changed into a one-piece suit too!

 

The surf shop LOVED the images we shot together...not so much my talent, I just recorded a superior model doing her thing!

Nikki had just been knocked over by a passing wave..I caught her

just as she regained her balance.

Hi Jean-Philippe,

This was shot on an overcast day...I probably should have isolated her and lightened, saturated her skin a bit. If I do, I'll post it for comparison. Thanks for the critique.

Unusual viewpoint...just goes to show that if you know what you're doing, breaking the rules works out rather well! Looking forward to more of your work!

You guys are right....the dolphin didn't work out quite like I wanted. Unfortunately, I was shooting with a "slow" lens and was already as wide open as possible.

On the positive side, she used several shots from the shoot including this one to land a contract with a local retail outlet.

 

As always, all comments are much appreciated. That's how we all grow and develop our skills.

Very well done! Good use of the "one-color-color" philosophy.

We just happened on this old dry fountain at a local hotel as we

traveled to a shooting location.

Confusing photo. Hard to tell what the center of attention should be.

Faces could be lightened a bit especially the eyes.

Thanks for the comment David. That's one thing I lilke about getting out of the studio.

 

I'll be posting more of this couple when I get the chance.

 

 

Thanks for the comment Doug....

These two are out of the Ford Agency in NYC, down in Melbourne on vacation.

She was trying for a "sultry" look, and came pretty close...

I'll post more of her later with a more "upbeat" expression.
