    The Guitar Strikes Again (Warning: implied nudity)

    A different model this time, using the handy guitar again, but as a swimsuit (patent time, anyone?).

    Comments welcome. This model's quite accomplished BTW. I will post a few more of her.

    Much more dramatic light scheme!
    Nice look of the model
    I like the colors in the back , is this the result of gel on the flashes ?

    A couple of critiques
    there is a reflection of the flash bouncing of the guitar on the left leg of the model
    I'm not keen in the position of the feet

    Thanks Armando. I don't recall a gel, but the owner was helping me with some supplemental lights and may have shined one back there.

    The light on both of them was achieved via a strobe with attached circular grid that heavily eliminated side lighting. It gives the scene a vignette, which I find more artistic than super even soft box lighting.

    The model was great. I'll post another of her, one taken with a soft box, a little more even you may notice.

    It was sooooooo hard not to get reflections and uneven lighting. Actually I believe I had them on the front of the guitar too in this one and removed them in Post, but didn't notice them on her thigh, so thanks for pointing it out.

    How should the feet be? I think it shows a wrapping position like the rest of her, so not sure what would be better. But they could have been better lit (maybe).

    I'll post another of this model.

    I like it. I didn't notice the light on her leg until it was pointed out. She's really beautiful and I think the shot works very well. As for the feet I think they look good like that, repeating that general wrap around pose. Really nice!
