Hello,
Had the pleasure of shooting with Penny today on location, and this series was shot in a quiet melbourne laneway, natural light, sunset oclock, no other gear, and I am pleased with the results.

love to know what you think and how I may improve. thanks in advance.

regards
Bruce
#1 - "on time"


#2 - "where is he"


#3 - "oh there he is!"

i love your stuff. the angles, lighting and compositions are always very appealing to me. #2 is a freakin pearler. the soft glow of the lighting is sublime.
although...i must say, i dont particularly like the facial expression in #3.

great composition in 1
Not sure abour 2; perhaps more contrast / saturation?
3 makes me wonder what she's thinking!
I'm not into portraits, so I can only offer 'reaction' to what I see. Enjoyed looking at them!

She's beautiful! I just want to run my hands over her curves and caress every part of her body. The girl looks OK too!
On a serious note...these are some of the more sophisticated images you have posted and demonstrate your maturity as an evolving artist/photographer. These images would not look out of place in Vogue magazine. Nice work!

1st and 3rd shot are great, love the angles....very pretty model.....

thanks heaps on the great feedback, agree with the PP work required, these are almost straight from camera, so now for some levels etc.

i'll repost further edits soon.

I would agree that sophisticated is a great word to describe these images..

I love the first shot, the car is soo glossy, love it, and her red dress is a great compliment to the black car. Helps to have a hot model too though

Nice work bruce keep it up.

good stuff bruce.

i'd like to see more light on her (only) in the first pic. Perhaps a localised light that's shielded so it won't splash on the car as well.

good work Bruce I like number 3 she is beauty .........

yeah, agree, thats exactly what I was thinking at the time, but the exercise was to see what I could get with just the sun, and a camera (no reflectors etc).

I really like these as a sequence telling a story.
Generally with "glamour" shots, I have a quick peep and move on.

I keep coming back to this thread though as there is a real mood to them.
As such I am not really prepared to pull one out and say "that's the one" If I was was held at gun point though I would probably go with #2 as this really encapsulates the whole story for me.
