For this shoot I literally only had 10 minutes with the girl, before it started to rain. So that was a bit frustrating. I did manage to snap this shot.....which I am posting here pretty much unprocessed. What do you think?

Sample 1


Edit: Now that I look at it again, this attempt blows. This girl needs to be made to look hot, she needs to scream sexy. I want a photo that makes her friends say "Wow, is that really you? So hot"......I want photos that raise eyebrows, and I'll make it happen next time. The heck with these tame pictures that can be out of a yearbook........I want pictures that make guys lust after this girl.

her face and that pose look awkward...its like she's making a face at you or something.
i don't remember if you mentioned it before or not, but do you pay these women to pose for you?

Actually there was a crowd of 10 guys (at least) behind me leering and smiling......can't be helped with location shoots.

Edit: No I don't pay, I'm really lucky that I have a lot of girls interested in working with me at this point. There is this absolutely gorgeous girl from Australia I am dying to work with, and another from Sweden. If you guys saw those girls, your jaws would hit the ground.

It looks okay under the circumstances. Her facial expression could have been better, the lighting seems a bit off, and the image is a touch soft. She looks like a very attractive girl though.

You know, actually she looks a lot better then that picture would have you believe. I had 10 minutes though, so I did what I could. We're going to reschedule.......I told her I want to go for something a lot 'naughtier' and sexier because by looking at her images she's looking a bit on the innocent side. I need to bring out her inner 'bad girl'.

Were you using the onboard flash or a hot-shoe mounted one? Her pose and face look very awkward and drastically take away any 'awe' the photo may of had. The white-balance is off as well - seems to be a bit too red.

Try not to cut off any limbs - with her leg dropping at such a straight angle like that, it leads me away from her face.

I concur w/ the lighting being a bit odd and the pose funny, almost forced and unnatural. Not that I can do any better tho.. ha. Till next time when you have real time to take some shots

What's wrong with her lips? Looks like she's cleaning something out of her teeth.

That's a bad case of 'clutch foot' she has there. I've noticed from your previous threads / photos here that you tend to have these women in very odd poses. I'm not not sure if that is just your style and I don't want to stifle you as an artist; but, there is a reason some poses are called 'classic' poses. Maybe work with the normal poses until you get the lighting figured out, then go for your styles. These aren't 'bad', necessarily, just odd.
