Tell Marzi that in my professional opinion as a photographer she is overflowing with hawtness. It's possible that has to do with your skill as a photographer, but I suspect not. As a guy, my opinion would probably just make her blush. > > http://goo.gl/hrPwz > > From left to right: > - "Once upon a time in the west" Very nice, the shadows add mystery. I'm not sure what the thing that looks like a goldfish cookie on a leather thong is, I'd use my adjustment brush and "burn it to black" dropping the exposure and brightness. I'd also like to see it cropped in a lot tighter on her. as much as you can off the left, and bottom. For that matter, I might even crop off a bit of the hat in the upper right. > - "Madame X" Madme X is interesting. It almost looks overprocessed, but that ends up also almost making it look like a 1940's glamour shot. If it looked any more 40's I'd be wondering where the cigarette with curling smoke was. I like the way that it lookes like you played with varying levels of saturation too. > - "Fresh" Very nice. > - "Mischief" In many ways that may be the best of the set. I'm really looking forward to what you can get now that she realizes she actually looks good in front of the camera and will probably be more likely to relax, play and get silly. > > The first three are lit solely by a bare, battery-powered 160-LED > "video light" on a light stand. $79 at Amazon.
