One more!

She has ginormous and pretty eyes. I like all in the first post, except for the last one. I guess I don't like the sepia-ish tone with the blue eyes.

Agree on the eyes. Had to go back to look at the rest of the photos just to see what she looked like!

Thank you for the comments!

Love the color - I'm not a big fan of mixed selective coloring usually. She is a sexy creature.

Thank you for the comments! On the selective color it is a like it of hate it, but what is funny about it I find that most photographers don't like it but most of everyone else likes it.
I have a request to do that out of almost every client I get. Just seems funny to me. Maybe we see it so much we are tiered of it I guess, not real sure though.

I am not sure where I read it but I heard once that you sell what you show. So if you show a lot of selective color stuff then thats probably why its so popular among your clients. I am one of those that hate it, i did try it a few times but lost the interest very fast.

i really like the second to last from this series (white bg, looking down). Her makeup looks very nice and i love when they are not looking straight into the camera. Funny, cause I also read somewhere that most people go for the shots where they are looking into the camera. lol

Thanks for the comments. It always amazes me at everyone's taste and how some love and some hate. There is never a perfect picture, something is always wrong with it in some way shape of form we just try to limit the wrongs and have more rights.

You have the main light very low, to the point the shadow is going up on her face in the first image. Also the large catch light is distracting....was not able to concentrate on the rest of her face or features as I was stuck looking at those eyes.

[evoryware]

What color are her eyes really? Blue or green? I like #2 the most. I also like 1, 4, and 5 though I do see the shadow problem in #1.
I'm not crazy about the last one of the first post. I'd prefer either the whole thing subdued or the whole thing normal. Disagree w/ above poster on the catchlights being too big, but yeah her eyes are catchy.

Thanks for the comments, Yes the main light is at a low power she was about 15" from the center of my 60" soft box. I wanted a more dramatic look on these for bit of a theme I was going for. I personally like the catch lights but I also know everyone has there own preferences. If you were stuck on her eyes I don't blame you they are very captivating.

Thank you, Here eyes are a blue green color the 1st one and 4th one are her natural color. I bid blue them up in a few to change them up a touch. mainly so they would stand out a bit more in the B&W and the one that is desaturated a bit. Thanks again for the comments.

You have mistaken my comment about the light being very low. The height of the light...is very low...the shadows going upward is a technique used in Hollywood for HORROR pictures. When the shadows go in the wrong direction it then confuses the brain of the viewer. It is not a way to be complimentary to the subject.

[Inked Photography]

I absolutely love the first three. No surprise there though. She could be a great alternative model. The dark tones suit her very nice. Especially with those eyes. I am not fond of the style of the last two. Great images. Just a personal choice though cause I love the first three so much.

[eastley]

She is so gorgeous, and such great shots.

As many have said, THOSE EYES!!!!

I understand you know, But that was the purpose of these. This shows a bit more of her personality. Not everyone is going to like this which I understand the key is that they like them and the ones I posted were her favs. this being the most. I do respect you input on appreciate it. Thank you.

Thanks Inked, I think we will do some more in the future and probably on the alternative lines. she liked them the best. Next time I'll try to include a few of her tats for you.

Thanks! I always love a good tattoo.

I couldn't get past the overly done lips in the first two images. While I love the eyes and her expressions, I am bothered by the lips. Even in the black and white the lips are over the top IMHO.

I agree with camrajoky about the lighting. I think you did ok but could have done better. Keep working with her and you will have a home run.

thanks for the comments, but I am not sure what you mean by over done lips. Are meaning the black lipstick or the black glitter on the lips? I am not sure what you mean by that statement. These are a bit more over the top images, not really for the faint of heart.

[Rodeoshooter]

What I mean by over done lips is that the lips should not draw the attention of the viewer away from the model's face and eyes. The lips should be an accent the rest of the image not be the main draw. I love the eyes but cannot get my attention off of the lips to view the rest of the lovely face. The dark black on the bottom lip is my main gripe. IMHO it is too heavy for the rest of the image. Even in the b&w image the lips still draw the most attention.

Using the excuse that these are a "bit more over the top images, not really for the faint of heart" doesn't cut it. One must understand the use of make up to enhance not over power the image.

That is what I mean. I hope you understand what I am try to say. The problem is only with the first 3 images.
