    Glamour black and white (nudity)

    Three final shots from my recent session with Lisa. Here are some done in black and white. One with a simulated red filter, one with yellow, one in high contrast. Critiques in re: the use of black and white for these shots is particularly encouraged. I like all three, for different reasons.

    First of all I am a big fan of B&W!

    I like the 3rd shot the most, she has smooth skin and the composition has good line and form. The first couple are a bit too soft for me and are not a good as the 3rd one...in my opinion.

    I like the top one the best, most interesting composition. Neat how you got inside the shower area (w/o damaging your camera!). But I don't like the extreme contrast ... just a little too distracting (?) Her facial expression seemed to say she was a little tired at this pt maybe? (although #2 doesn't say that). #3 she might be trying too hard (lol), seems a little too tense. Anyways, #3's lighting is the best of them all. All are original and show the sensuality of the model.

    I like the 3rd shot the best. To me, it seems to be the most naturel of the three shots and the lighting is great. I'm not a huge fan of the extreme contrast in #1, but I do like the position of the model in the frame. I don't like the look of the "soap" in #1 tho. Too me, it looks like shaving cream, and just doesn't look like it belongs. I do get what you were going for with it, but for me, it's not working in this image. I also like the body position in #2, but I don't like the soft focus, or the expresion on the models face. Just my 2 pennies.
