I really enjoy your images. You add a dimension with your creative edge, they are often somehting "edgy", and your images stimulate creative thought, so thanks!

I like the skin tones you are getting in these first few (for beauty/glamour). Would love to see the EXIF...

That location works well, think I saw it in a Band shoot you did also.

keep up sharing your great work, thanks, Oz.

Wow, the third one pops out to me for obvious reasons. ITS the angle people.

Not too crazy about 2nd one cause the pose looks rather unnatural and the face tells me she doesn't look too comfortable either.

Don't mind the last one but maybe instead of your model copying the graphics pose maybe she should try mirroring it. So her left hand will be on her hips etc

Anyway I've always liked your pics. keep postin'

You have great colours,skin tones , sharpness and creativity in your shots.Love it.The first one is the best one closely followed by the third one
The B&W is the only one i don't like as much as the others .Only because of how well your colour shots work .

I like the B&W but I'm a bit distracted but the shadows on her face/neck area as they don't fit with the toning of the rest of her body
I would also like to see this shot from a lower angle to remove some of the dark pavement and to bring her more in line with the girl on the wall

Dan - you certainly have a style :)

The very first pic is a standout IMO. The pose is excellent and the dog makes a very good counterpoint. I might not be ”with it” but I find the poses in #2 and #3 to be awkward.

The lighting in the first one is spot on. Out of all the images, the 3rd one pops out for me due to the angle. Also, what's the dog for? I would have preferred to see the model interacting with the dog. Right now, it just seems like the dog accidentally walked into the scene and was snapped in the photo.

gladstone street enmore eh ? ;) never thought of using that spot for stuff like this

theres another really cool spot if you are willing to jump in to the sewers (there is no water) this stuff would be awesome for these shots.

Great website you have....question if i may where is that railway track you have photographed?

I am looking for a disused set of tracks (one where neither me nor the model will get run over....lol)

Any one have any locations to share?

Noice.. very nice, I don't have alot to say but they are great pics!

My favourite is the B/W one, something about B/W shots that make it stand out for me.
