A few from a shoot with local model Katie.

I'm not sure which I like best... Do you have a preference? Please feel free to add any comments.

I think I'd go for No 3 as the added warmth makes the picture more intimate and cosy. I think the use of colour adds a lot to this shot and all the components work well together as a whole.
Best regards

Thanks John.

Good point. A simple red gel on the background makes a big difference.

They seem to have disappeared for the moment - maybe an internet problem.

Sorry Tracey.
It seems my webserver was offline for a few minutes for some maintenance.
Everything back on now. :D

Hi Paul

A good set of images here, I wouldn't expect anything less from you Paul ;-], the quality is first class. I think the one that sticks out for me the most is No 5, I like her expression, she looks relaxed and cute, I also like No 1.

Katie has got lovely eyes but I don't think the colour of her eye make up is doing her any favours, I think she has tried to go for the smokey eye look but I don't think it quite works, it looks too heavy, she just doesn't need it, her eyes are stunning as they are, they really dominate the images.

Hope I have not offended :roll:

Hi Tracey

Of course, you haven't offended. All comments are welcome. I confess that make-up isn't one of my strong points and what you say makes sense.

Thanks

Number one for me Paul, good lighting, good composition, eyes just off centre, lips perfect, good expression, that'll do for me.
Number one has something that number seven doesn't.

I'm also a fan of shadows on plain backdrops. Plain backdrops are sometimes just plain. I like the background not being white.

Thanks Philip. I think Number One is my own favourite too.
I've been practising my 'Hurley' techniques. ;-]

A good set of images, my favourite is No 5, I like the playful look and eye contact.

I have a question if you don't mind Paul? In image numbers 1, the first image of 3, 6 & 7 it looks as if the whites of her eyes are unusually white, are they as shot or have you enhanced them?

Thanks for commenting Pauline.

I don't usually whiten eyes but I confess that I did remove a few small eye veins from these and add a tiny touch of brightening. I guess if you've noticed then maybe I should back them off slightly. ;-]

Good point. Thanks. :D

Image 5 for me too Paul. The scene makes the image, and the lovely model of course :) striking eyes and a cheeky grin.
