Critique Welcomed A Set from a Photography Workshop

[Milan Vjestica]

A few images from a workshop on lighting techniques. These were taken independent of the lighting set up as test shots to help the team on the workshop know which settings to use.

Lovely stuff, Milan and that first one is a real cracker (or stoater as some might say!). Why do pretty young ladies wear so much makeup?!

 

[Brian Moore]

They're all stoaters!

Thank you Pete and Brian.

I am not a fan of too much make up. They would look better with minimal application to highlight their strongest features in my opinion.

I suspect it is a product of the last generation of over edited magazine shots where everyone has that perfect plastic skin look. Replicating the power of photoshop with make up!

They are all good, but the last one touches me somehow, with a very expressive look. Her hairdo, facial shape and as the image ends at the bottom in a v- shape, it looks like the whole image forms a heart. Or am I just too romantic? Beautiful brown eyes.

Ivar, the last model is older and has some life experience. She was more engaging and interesting to work with. I also like the expressiveness of her face. It is the most natural image of the set.

Yes you are a romantic. Own it.
