Description
Thank you to the beautiful ~Lotusolove for being my very first model!! :yay:My first time with completely artificial lighting. I used two lamps, and my tungsteen umbrella to soften things up. Perhaps I could have used it better... but I am very new to this sort of photography.
My first.. non emotive portrait. More of a glamourous, fashion photo.
Again, I forgive the quality of this... I would love to learn more though
I wish we would have had natural ligthing, I know it would have been SO much better.But I suppose there is next time...
Enjoy

A very captivating piece, and not just because of the subject's outfit, either. The eyes really grab you in this one! Great shot!

"..I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows
All my life..."
This is so absolutely enchanting, in a way that I could never possibly explain.
There is so much more to this picture than the beautiful model and the gorgeous outfit and pose...
There is so much more to this than the very impressive lighting which I adore, this picture has a feeling of pure darkness-beauty and old times of witches and Lords and Queens.
Everything about the model is so gracefully composed and those captured eyes are engaging..
I really do love every single thing about this fantastic photo, and I wish you submit more like this one.
The quality is fine, you've applied beautiful tones of colours together and the whole setting is marvelous.

Your lighting here is beautiful! It's even and gorgeous, and reminds me faintly of REALLY strong candlelight - which matches in well with the corset. Makes me thing of medieval times and castles and stuff.
The smoothness of the skin is gorgeous too - beautiful model of course, but you've done an awesome job capturing her.

the corset is beautiful, aswell as her eyes, and well just everything about his shot, and I love the fact that she is extremely beautiful without having to look like an ity-bity twig.

Lovely model. I like the lighting.

I like the light on the background - that was a good choice
Was this the first time :userLotusolove has done any modelling? The pose, expression, and makeup are all pretty good, but a key word is dynamic - as an art student I've heard that a lot, and teachers encourage movement or active compositions. This could mean more creative cropping, the model interacting with a prop (i.e. leaning on a chair), different camera angles, or the model becoming more engaged with the viewer - even if only through her eyes; having her look toward camera is great, but I feel like she's looking over my head instead of at me. If it's her first time, then that will become easier as she gets more comfortable. Of course, if you prefer more static images, that's your choice as an artist, and that's fine too
Judging by your gallery, you have great talent and potential - I look forward to seeing how your studio photography progresses
Unrelatedly, I have that same corset, but with blue instead of green...w00 eBay

Nice picture !
A little trick for lighting, try backlighting the subject, it would create and separation between her and the background and attenuate the shadow behind her... also, since you had a nice background, it would give it much more colors..... but the picture is really nice anyway, great job ! And what a beautiful model !
hope it helped !

A beautiful photo, on my opinion.

The lighting seems a little too harsh in places. But your model is lovely, the color scheme is perfect for her, and a corset is oh, so sexy. Very nice pose, I love how the light is reflected off her lips and eyes, with her make-up being just enough. Overall, I think it's great!

Beautiful - pose, lighting and expression...if you hadn't said otherwise I'd have asked how long you've been doing profession shoots.

A beautiful photo with a beautiful model. ^__^
The lighting is a bit direct, and personally I think a warmer tone would be more appropriate, but this is otherwise fantastic. Perhaps you could experiment with more smaller, softer lights in the future... This technique here really defines your model, drawing her out from the background, but it still creates harsh shadows.
