Introducing Nan- Pt. I

[Alex]

Hello,

Had an outdoor city shoot session. Nan wanted to have urban kind of shots taken and I think it suits her style perfectly.

Would love some C&C.









Thanks for looking

Forgot to mention that I must express special gratitude to my wife who performed the MUA duties for the shoot

Great eyes. Love the third shot.

Just a little niggle... the tones seem somewhat pale and makes her look a bit like a man. Might need some colour boosting but I'm not quite sure what'll make her look less of a man. The tomboyishness is nice there, but it might be overkill on her face.

[Alex]

Thanks very much for the comments, Leigh. Yes, the Tomboishness is the style she likes so it suits the urban theme I think.

I do agree about the pale tones. I did some layer blending and this is the result. Is this an improvement? I prefer this one I think I will rework the others similarly.



Cheers

It's almost too clean for me for urban style. Suggestion would be to make it a bit harsher in terms of PP. Also use the burn tool to darken the atmosphere a bit more.

[Nnnnsic]

Yup, the rework makes her look more sensual now, but still with an edge of tomboyishness. It's quite cool, Alex.

I agree with the Urban touches Wayne suggests though. You might want to add some dirty framing to it. PhotoFrame might have the right sort of edges if you need. I like the sort of feel the images have mind you, but dirtying them up a bit through either frames or layers might just make it seem that much more edgy.

[Alex]

Thanks very much, Leigh. I will rework most of the images from the shoot to add more contrast by blending layers.... Not sure about the photo frame though. I'm not a big fan of frames, but will definitely try PhotoFrame. Thanks again, you've been really helpful. I think noise in some of the images will do the dirtying up for me

Alex - great stuff.
She doesn't have enough wrinkles to be a Nan though
