Hey everyone, i was lucky enough to do my first studio shoot last week. Lauren was a great model to work with and really made things easy for me.

Overall i had fun and learnt alot, but i still have plenty more to learn.

Comments and Criticims are always welcome, its how i learn and get better!

Yer, she was the runner up, and I was fortunate enough to get an hour or so in the studio while things were quiet.

Thank You Brian!

well it looks great you certianly got the rapport right no dodgy looks
she looks great

i liek the 1st one best pose angle of head in the 2nd one is better
and nice rim light

i think the static backgound works better than the one on the couch

very well done

Nice Matt. Like them all. I agree with Wendell that the static backgrounds work better than the couch.

Jeez, before long you'll be all pasty white from being in the studio. Unlike us folks that stand trackside.... :lol: :wink:

Number three is my fave of the bunch. Nice exposure, setting, model and pose. Great shot.

However I feel that your post processing skin tone softening might be just a tad aggressive especially in the last one. (Good posing technique though. Credit to your model)

wel done

very nice, both of you!

like the close up, although the "hairextension" or what ever it is is a little distracting.

all nice posing, perhaps throw a rug or uniform sheet/backdrop over the "casting couch" :wink:

Great images Matt and a gorgeous model. Love #1 and 3. If i were going to be picky a few images seem to have rather plasticky skin tones. I suppose that's why i like #3, seems more natural skin texture and tone.
cheers

#3

Mostly for the same reasons that have already been mentioned, it is the most natural looking one to me, and I like the composition.

Cheers,
Elena

You have over-processed the skin to to the point where your model looks like a blowup doll. It looks fake. Great pics but back off the processing.

the third one is the winner here! intimate and close up composition really makes you connect with her.

thanks for the nice comments everyone. I really like that 3rd one myself. the skin smoothing i think isn't tooooo bad, im undecided on it yet. alot of magazine shots are the same way tho.

i didn't take a picture of the setup, but it was just one very big softbox in the studio.

if i ever get a chance to shoot there again i'll make sure i show the setup
