#2 has a princess Dianna look to it,

#4, absolutely stunning, apart from from a beautifull model, your use of the off-camera flash & selective vingetting is spot on.

I agree that #2 has a Diana look to the pose, I take it these were all your art direction Wendell ?

I like the idea of the mirror shot, but think you could of done with more room 2 metres isn't enough for backstage.

craig all my art direction i work alone

Cream has a fashion and aesthetic ethos i have to shoot a certain way
for their backstage reportage

mainly its important to get a serious pose/expression over ones that have models mucking around, most of mine are always tight shots since im using the 28-70 with my hand hold flash that somewhat contrains me doign full length in limited space but i hvae many full length shots they just aern't lit as nicely as my tight shots

#1 is the best Wendell. Composition wise and pj wise, tells a helluva lot from the one pic.

Hi Wendell, All good shots. I think the first shot has just a little too much going on. Yeah, the second is a Lady Di. The third one you have given some nice work to and her eyes seem to be really captivating. The fourth is a cool shot - nice work with the flash. Cheers, Mick

Excellent fashion shots as always Wendell. I make a point of looking at all your fashion posts. I like the mirror shot the best. Very clever, especially considering how crowded it must have been.
Cheers
John

No 4 is pure gold Wendell. I absolutely love the way the light just rolls over her skin.

Wendell,

First and last are my favourites. No.1 is very artistically composed with the mirror reflection, whilst the last one has a great facial impression. They are great shots.

What Matt said :)

All very nice mate. The only nit I have is the brass rod (?) growing out of the left hand side of the models head in the last photo. Dodge it out or clone it out and you've got a corker.

mate, first and last of these just really appeal to me... it's the lighting and pose I guess, I'm trying to look at them in a non tech way to think how they'd go in editorial and I love them. Technically, they are freakin lush, smooth and well composed. I cant believe they only had that much space... no wait, this IS brisbane.... lol

Be sure to give me a heap more notice when you next visit Brissy and we'll get you in somewhere you dont have to share with backpackers :lol:
