Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Charity Shoot - Artistic Nude (NSFW)

The first of many images from a charity shoot that I did today...

I won a model auction for the right to photograph these images...

It was a rushed shoot, but I'm pretty happy with these shots...

I'd welcome some critique on these...

Thanks for these. Masterful lighting and composition!

I have always wondered how to light these but never figured it out. Would you mind sharing your technique?

I would be curious to know who these were lit as well. Two lights? One on the left and one on the right I suspect. Exposure on the guy on the left in Womb#2 is just a tad over, but that is getting really really picky. (And this is from someone that does very little flash and never done studio work!!!)

The only comments I would make is that in the second & third picture, that tattoo is really off putting (for me at least) on the girl at the top. Unfortunately, you can't do much about it, but it just adds a visual distraction as all the other models are not so adorned (except for the star on the girls leg/ankle in Womb and not visible in the other two). Also, the guys foot in the last two images (bottom left hand corner) seems a bit disembodied as well and looks a little weird, but its not too bad. It would be interesting to see how they look in B&W as well. First shot looks the best to me.

Other than those little nit picks - good shots.

I'd put something witty here, but I just can't think of anything....
