Preface: I don't like how the client wanted the girl to pose all slutty. I didn't like the outfits or the location. I would have done things very differently if it were my choice. So...I did the best I could with what I had. Oh, and not all the pics are mine. Enjoy...

Oh god, the lack of class.. There is a fine line between sexy and trashy. She crossed it major. Very, very pretty girl and a very nice bod but the outfits combined with the poses absolutely ruin it for me. Photography wise I like #5 the best but 3 looks OOF.

Did you happen to catch that the client WANTED it that way? Do you think he'd get paid if his client wasn't pleased with his work? *facepalm*

.......I missed the part where him meeting the requirements prevented me from having a negative opinion.

facepalm to you as well.

Where's your advice/critique/comments? All I see is you bitching about my posts and not any of the photos.

I had nothing to critique from a photography standpoint except the missed focus in one of the pictures. I don't see much c&c in here from anyone else, either.

I don't see why you're criticizing my posts instead of giving out the wonderful advice you seem to expect from me.



edit: sorry OP for the thread jack. Obviously wasn't my intent to criticize you, just the model/client's expectations....

i thought id see pics like these after seeing her name in the title.... your idea to do things very differentl would help these pics a lot since i dont think the outfits or poses really benefit either of you

looks like focus was missed on more than one of them. i agree with tonk, outfits, poses, location are all terrible but gotta give the client what they want.

i'd have to agree, the shots are good but poses aren't. the girl would look so much better if she wouldn't have been put in such trashy poses.

i agree with you tonk, these shots do nothing for the model besides making her look like a ho. can you voice your ideas during the shoot at all? it seems like this client has absolutely no idea how to pick a location, outfits etc.

I don't know if you want criticism but if you do, then read below, if not then just ignore my post...

#1 there is a pole growing out of her head, not great composition.
#2 looks out of focus and the steering wheel is upside down, looks kinda odd
#3 her face is out of focus completely
#4 looks like the focus was on the car because she is out of focus again
#5 actually looks like the best shot of the group

I just see no pop. I've seen you take much better pictures.

Yeah unfortunately it was overcast and it seemed like my camera just wasn't cooperating with me to make the pics anything outstanding.

I have, but he wants them for the model section of his website and he thinks the slutty pictures are what grabs people's attention. His site is all about money, investing, real estate, etc so I don't know what type of clientelle he's trying to attract with these slutty pictures... but that's not really for me to decide.

The last set he posted taken at Hyperfest were absolutely terrible though. He obviously knows nothing about photography so it's not even worth the money for me anymore. I'm done with this guy.

I just see no pop. I've seen you take much better pictures.
1 - She's leaning against the pole, I don't see it as growing out of her head but I guess I can see what you mean.

About the OOF pictures...I need to adjust where my camera focuses because it looks like for most of them the camera focuses on the car, not the girl. I would figure that on a camera this expensive it would figure out the focus with no problem haha.

^ I know you don't usually shoot like that thats why it was odd to see the pictures out of focus. Maybe your lens is screwing up? I know she's leaning against the pole in that one shot, it just looks odd to me.
