Calendar Shots for client - Lingerie (NSFW)

[Bob Hubbard]

glossy?


ah, having some mean remarks on the tip of my tongue...or fingers.



(Aren't you going cross eyed looking at 250 pictures of each lady, trying to find the one that is a tad better than the other very good shots?!)

heh.

It's a hard bit of work. No pun intended. I can eliminate about half the shots out right. Lighting, blinks, expressions are wrong, etc. Some of the poses aren't flattering and can't be tweaked in post. After that, it becomes a rapid weeding out process of paring down similar shots to best-ofs, unbalanced composition, etc. That'll get me to 30-50 shots. After that, it becomes painful as I'm down to the shots I really like and can't use all of them.

My husband has just shouted NO to this one I'm afraid!

if you put in her the shorts type of knickers she'd would look balanced! Her tummy looks odd.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Got 3 nays on #6 so far. hmm....

I wasn't looking at her tummy...

Hate to say it but I'm not fond of #6 either, even tho I love that you shoot women of different shapes and sizes!

I don't know if its the small resolution of the photo, or the shadow on her face (or both), but she doesn't look as flirty as the others. I dunno...one hand on her bra strap, the other on her panties almost gives off a more desperate air...rather than playful and confident.

The expression, the pose... it's just not coming together.

I am sure it was the eyes.....

My wife just said the picture is top heavy. The head angle looks wrong to me, too -- and the expression is just off. Kind of earnest with a touch of crazy and a bit of "Is this what you want me to do?" instead "You want some of this..."

 

[Bob Hubbard]

My wife pointed out the neck angle. I might replace the shot, but might go with this one here and save the better shot for the full calendar in 2013.

Of course, what else could I be talking about? :angel:

She is a pretty lady but I have never been into, uhm, bigger women (for lack of a better term) myself. Part of it I'm sure is being 5'6" and 165lbs :uhyeah:

So, got my test prints back. Happy with them. 18"x24", laminated. Quality was better than I expected.

I love that picture.

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Yup. Laminated, so that beer won't stain em.

 

[Carol]

Uhh...yeah...the beer

 

[Bob Hubbard]

Well, soft drinks. They are aimed at a geek crowd after all.

Bob, I knnow you have a lot of feedback on this one.

She has some curves, but she has no hips in this picture. I think this is the aspect that is causing some problems, from my point of view.

Keep up the good work.
