Floofie (Warning, Nudity)
Took these about a year and a half ago and somehow overlooked them in processing. Comments welcome. Tough decision on how much contrast to use, as the originals were very moody and dark. I brightened them up to show her a bit better,

Re: Floofie (Warning, Nudity)
Model photography is not nor is it ever likely to be my thing but I admire those that can do, so any thing I write should be viewed with that in mind . GB the first shot to me looks like a very classical pose and I wonder how this would suit a sepia treatment with some grain.
In the second I'm not sure if I like her face and right leg in shadow.
Re: Floofie (Warning, Nudity)
Thanks Pete. Yes, the first one seems to hold promise. The second I think is a good pose, but I did not light her property to highlight the her dominate leg and her face, which are fatal flaws.
Try modeling photography sometime - it doesn't bite. :)

#1
were you directing ?
legs , arms , body, all very well, the position of her head/face let us look directly to her nostrils , not the most flattering angle and breaks and otherwise very elegant pose
lightning wise I like contrasty and moody , specially in nudes
#2
The pose is fine, the contrast on the back can be pleasant with the light more to the side instead of direct
Re: Floofie (Warning, Nudity)
Greg, I'm not even going to pretend I can critique this kind of photography. But I do want to know...is her name really Floofie? :confused:

I can't take credit for the pose there Armando, there was an ex-model there who now runs this photo club suggesting ideas. I see what you mean about the nostrils, perhaps if she was facing down more than this pose would be even better.
I am not sure about the contrast myself, as to me nudes should be more harmonious than contrasty, but w/ this model I think it works.
Soft light vs. direct, that's the question. The former is more common and what you see a lot of folks use, but the latter often adds excitement to the image.

I really doubt it. I didn't ask her where that (nick)name came from, as to be honest she is somewhat unapproachable in that regard, though a good model. I see she's traveling through San Diego again this week but I will be too busy to shoot...
