Nice work Matty .... what is the light source that you are using for them? I am figuring that you are using a portable strobe into softbox but I am also guessing that you are using an assistant to make sure that it does not blow over or get wet. Managing light outdoors is my biggest challenge, usually because I prefer to work without an assistant. Good work anyway.... Ants

The second one is great. You've done well to get a great exposure on it. She certainly is an attractive model.

thanks for the comments everyone.

silly question, do you think the silly tilted angles work? or have none of you noticed :P

for this shoot i used my ab1600 with a large softbox to expose the model. but yes, definately need an assistant. i attempted a shoot without one, and the end result was a ruined light :(

I actually found them a little distracting (the angles), I felt like I needed to tilt to my head. Although (here is my contradiction) it seems to add to the image somehow, making it more dynamic maybe. . .

I like the angles - makes them seem less like snapshots, I think. (OK, there's a lot of elements that we see which stop them being snapshots, but for the general public, I think they work well.)

Matty- I didn't notice the angles, so I couldn't have found them too off-putting the first time around.

Looking over them again now, I think they suit the mood of the photos.

They're all good, but the second is my favourite. It just has that "x factor".
