hi sg,

so i got word back on my set that i sent in and it got rejected. oh well... i'll just try again smile here are the pics though from the set. there were actually 70 or some pics but i cut it down here. lemme know what you think. constructive criticism is welcome too.













































the last one's my favorite. i think i could've gone for more of a pin-up style, but oh well. i'll just have to try again. as for the rest of today, i'm just hangin' out and doing nothing. funfun. maybe the evening will yield some interesting activity.

much love,

ok, first, you obviously had no extra lighting. The first ones were pretty dark and the texture was flat because of no lighting. They got better at the end when you had some up close shots.

Also, too many of them were far away. Try and get as little background in as possible unless it is absolutely critical to the set (or theme). Get more body part shots (ie. more of your breast, perhaps a neat angle on our naked thigh, etc). Don't do all you shots from the front. A back shot, peering over your shoulder, a weird shot of your face from between your legs, anything that will grab the viewer and say "hey, that's a cool shot."

Also, your expression remained pretty much the same. The best sets have a wide variety of emotions on the face. Even if the feel if the set is supposed to be sultry or dark or light specifically, a sudden shot of a huge smile or weird face or something out of place makes it much more fun.

I've noticed that the best sets (aside from an awesome, unusual theme) are ones that have "movement" to them. What I mean by that is that it looks like the photographer just kept taking shots as the girls moved about and did her thing. If it LOOKS like you posed, it becomes stagnant and kinda boring.

But, again, the main thing was the lighting. Your skin was blue like the water because there was no diffused light. And unless your theme is "BLUE" that never works. You blend in to the picture too much. You want your skin to POP off the page and stand out.

Oh, also, if you are gonna have makeup on in the water, and then have it run down your face, you need to make it very dark and obvious. Just using a bit and having some barely-there messed up makeup just makes it look messy, like you forgot you had make up on. Go au natural or very dark if you are gonna do something in the water.



Hope that this helps!!

P.S. Next time take off the Ortho Evra patch!
