Wendell, you've captured a Ziggy Stardust feel to the last two images. Very nice.

The third of these is great. I'd perhaps like to see just a little bit cropped from the top though.

Great work Wendell.

GReat work Wendell. Theme captured beautifully. I think you have captured a Blade Runner 11 promotional shots in this series in particular the last image.
cheers

Excellent images! Number 3 excels the rest, but number 4 is confronting by its coolness.

while I agree with Gary that the third needs cropping... I would like to see it cropped at the bottom between the where here palm goes behind the light and the top of the shadow area above here armpit
while I'm fond of cleavage and breasts, here I fell they distort the photo too much thereby loosing some of that classic look I think you were going for.

by the way I would pay to watch you and learn some of your post processing techniques... they are superb

First two and the last one for me. There is something magic about the last one. I love this series!

understood its actually meant to be a beauty shot jodi gardner one of my makeup artists wanted it tighter but i wanted to show the nails and body makeup, but it would of been better tighter for sure

the look isn't so much classic its meant to be futurist edgy

and there isnt much post in these apart from smoothing the skin a little and intensifying the colours, curves adjustment

the colours come from about 3 flashes all geled and two fluro light tubes

in terms of post processing i only use curves, layers, eraser, dodge and burn and the (clone tool for smoothing), these are the only tools you need anythign else if just bells and whistles, knowing how to apply them artistically and knowign when to stop is a different story

thanks everyone

FREAKIN amazing.......dude i so hope you go on to be one of the 'worlds' best togs you already have it sewn up here in OZ
