Obviously didn't bother to do any ordinary work whilst you were in NY

Again, great stuff Wendell, except the
model's left leg and foot in no 3 looks weird to me.

Excellent concept, Wendell. All with beautiful lighting. Your work shines whether done in NY or SYD

Nothing short of extraordinary. It's amazing what you can do with one speedlight if you know how to shape the lighting.
Very inspirational stuff.
btw I hate you because I have that stupid Fallout Boy song stuck in my head now 'cos of this title

#1 and #4 are very reminiscent of Helmut Newton’s work except the bottle in #1 should have been bourbon
Edit - IMO these are the only 2 of the 4 that match the title and are very good

Fantastic Wendell, all great, but number four is really something special.

I love #1 because it implies a story, and #4 is a wonderful portrait.

Wendell,
You have truly produced some great work on this trip. #1 is my pick from these.
All of these look to me to be marginally oversharpened. While I understand that you're trying to achieve a particular look, in #3 you've taken it a smidgeon too far, and there's some haloing evident.

Well, if you were going to pick a "defiant" favourite, it would have to be #3.
She has ATTITUDE.
(no offence, Nigell - just had a mischievous thought about your typo!

Hey Wendell, great stuff mate. I love the lighting, which I guess has become synonymous with your 'style'.
Making great use of the location.

Forget Fall Out Boy, I was expecting a Jessica Alba shot with bright red lipstick.
I think #1 is great. Has that real 40's & 50's private eye office feel. I keep expectingthe P.I. to be sitting behind the desk blowing smoke from the cigarette.
I also really like #2. The skin tones remind me of Daryl Hannah in BladeRunner. I love the effect.
I'm certainly jealous of the work that you produce.

It reminds me more of Sean Young
but I think it has gone too far and looks more like a painting than a photograph.

Bloody brilliant Wendell. Stephanie and I have just been pouring over these. I'm not sure who the star is in the first shot - the
models or the lighting!
Stunnnnnnnning!

Wendell - your work is always inspirational to me - it makes me want to take photos of people !!!! (and then I see reason, and go and find another insect
) Absolutely beautiful - but from you, I have come to expect no less
