Matt, awesome!! I always look to shoot something as simple as that, but havent found anything just yet...

Sidd, nice lighting! I did my first model shoot today, not quite us your your standard yet but hopefully a few years practice will get me there.

First shot I've processed:

Not the best, but a start

[siddr20]

Its a good start and WOW a bikini shoot for your first time!!

Not sure if that location works to be honest. Finding the graffiti distracting. What do you think?

What did you think of the model shoot? Something you want to keep doing?

[NA_Goodness]

Haha, was a bit taken back when she started stripping off

Yeah, I think it is a bit... Only reason I chose it was the "f*k the Police" on the wall, which I thought would have been cool. Everyone looks at me funny when I say that, so I could just mention I respect the cops, but thought it'd work as a backdrop for a car shoot.

Probably worked better for this:

We did move around that area though, this shot is my favourite so far:

Yeah man, definately keeping at it! Cars and landscape will always be a favourite, but nothing wrong with branching out a bit

Yeah thats a good shot - well done

ps matt like the new watermark!

[NA_Goodness]

Thanks Zennon

[siddr20]

Yup i like that shot also, but i want you to improve and so im going to tell you that a bit of fill light would have been great. You can just see her right eye. Maybe a bit of PP work can fix this up also.

You got a reflector? Its the best investment and it wont cost you much at all.

Can i have a bit of play around with the image to show you what i mean?

[ZENNON]

Yeah I'd lighten her face and boobs*

*seriously

[MaTBoY]

nice start with models (She's not bad either ) I think people really demand extra lighting if you want to pull off that special look. It's a nice firm start! good comp and ideas. also... boobs are awesome.

[NA_Goodness]

Sidd, the more advice you can give me the better! I'm always more then happy to accept it. I was wishing I had a light/torch/flash/reflector at the time. In hindsight I could have used my flash gun...

Go nuts with the editing. If you want the original photo i can email it to you when I get home.

[NA_Goodness]

Thanks Matt! I was pretty happy when she jumped out of the car and started stripping off

[siddr20]

Thanks for sending the image.

Here is a quick 5 min work:

Save it to your desktop, coz i will delete it from photobucket in a day or two.

[siddr20]

Well a totally different lighting.. Dark, edgy, arty type look:

ssshh be quite!!!

[MaTBoY]

I like the second one. It's interesting. Good work. I'm going to buy you a beer and steal your lighting knowledge one day.

[NA_Goodness]

Wow Sidd! Thats awesome! The tones look so much better. Ill have to keep that in mind when I edit the rest.

Nice work on your other portaits! Quite different

[Passive]

Whoa awesome second shot sidd

and rhys

i just cant look at that girl the same way since your convo with the boys on WCC

[MaTBoY]

Sounds like someone is holding out in us. Better spill the beans man.

[siddr20]

Its good to try out something different at times.

Thanks everyone

[NA_Goodness]

Haha!! Yeah, those guys have issues

Basically she isn't as old as you'd think...

[MaTBoY]

Oh, I was expecting something more juicy than that
