Digging this one the most of your mannequin stuff. I love those things, it's a shame at how loving much they cost though.

Haha, that is cool as hell. Especially after I kicked on the BRM 13 soundtrack you linked. Very fitting!

And furthermore
Grimey Drawer
I was asked to do a boudoir shoot for a friend of a friend. The problem is that this FOAF is in her fifties and is simultaneously very conscious of her aging and has a very unrealistic self-image. She wanted something to make her feel sexy so I decided that the best way to handle it was to do it as a black and white shoot with a lot of deep shadows to give me cover for airbrushing out loose skin and other unavoidable effects of getting older.

Some of the shots are nsfw (none of them show full nudity but there are visible nipples on some).

This one was my favourite and the only one I didn't convert to monochrome.

As someone who enjoys dark photos, the exposure in a good 60%+ of the monochrome shots is way too dark.

Not your fault I guess, but those fake eyelashes are super bad. Actually her makeup in general looks weird to me.

Face looks super greasy. Could flag the direct sun out if you had an assistant there but otherwise there isn't much you can do besides minimize the angle so you don't get those massive shiny areas.

Third time is a charm right?
Her face looks really shiny and gold tinted and not in a greasy way but an over abundance of gold shimmery makeup way. Her face looks out of place color/shine/tone wise from the rest of her body if that makes sense

Also in the one of her laying down, theres some odd skin textures going on around her stomach.

Thanks. Well, i can try to ol' clone stamp + opacity trick on the shine if it's that bad (i swore i did that already). Not sure what to do with her face looking out of place with her body. Color balance it?

You won't be able to do much of anything about those highlights in post and it'll look worse if you try IMO. Same with the golden color that's just the makeup choice; trying to fix that is like using two different gels on your lights and trying to color correct in post.

Interesting note, thanks. I'll tell her to wear less or better make up next time. She was a good model overall, but she's still inexperienced. Maybe i'll scrap those and look for others that are less distracting. I took over 500.

Why not? She was hot and i was bored and needed an assignment done. 500 goes by really fast. I just want to move more into fashion/mainstream portraits. The face thing might be my lovely editing too - i'll have to check. I sometimes have trouble getting colors/skin tones just right on black people.

I hope the title of your assignment is "500 bad photos of no concept, with a model that doesn't pose well, in poor light: A Study in Why I Hate Myself"

No, it's called "gently caress you."

That's a less creative title but at least it shows some emotion and initiative, unlike the photos you posted.

I'm not sure what your point is or why you're being a giant bitch? I told you i don't normally do fashion/mainstream portraits. This was a late assignment for class with a last-minute model. I just wanted some honest opinions which i appreciated other than "i'm a goon so i'm going to be a giant oval office because that's my only identity i cling to".

No, seriously, suck my balls.

you seem upset. you should try to relax a little when things are getting to you.

i can't see edit histories but i'm gonna choose to believe you came back a few minutes later just for the "suck my balls" parting shot.

You seem really mad that I made fun of your bad photos and then you for trying to justify making bad photos. In the future maybe try making better photos or not being so defensive when someone points out that you suck.
