Model Shoot: Lauren

[MattyO]

Hey everyone, i was lucky enough to do my first studio shoot last week. Lauren was a great model to work with and really made things easy for me.

Overall i had fun and learnt alot, but i still have plenty more to learn.

Comments and Criticims are always welcome, its how i learn and get better!

great shots matt, was she the miss motorsports winner? and was in the CW studio?

[MattyO]

Yer, she was the runner up, and I was fortunate enough to get an hour or so in the studio while things were quiet.

Thank You Brian!

well it looks great you certianly got the rapport right no dodgy looks
she looks great

i liek the 1st one best pose angle of head in the 2nd one is better
and nice rim light

i think the static backgound works better than the one on the couch

very well done

[Raskill]

Nice Matt. Like them all. I agree with Wendell that the static backgrounds work better than the couch.

Jeez, before long you'll be all pasty white from being in the studio. Unlike us folks that stand trackside....

Number three is my fave of the bunch. Nice exposure, setting, model and pose. Great shot.

However I feel that your post processing skin tone softening might be just a tad aggressive especially in the last one. (Good posing technique though. Credit to your model)

well done Matt, I very happy you have fun, becouse that's the way to enjoy photoghrapy and take good photos like you did.. number 3 is my favorite

Love the pose, love the lighting.

Wins for me

Why didnt you send me this one last week. i got the rest

[Oz_Beachside]

very nice, both of you!

like the close up, although the "hairextension" or what ever it is is a little distracting.

all nice posing, perhaps throw a rug or uniform sheet/backdrop over the "casting couch"

Great images Matt and a gorgeous model. Love #1 and 3. If i were going to be picky a few images seem to have rather plasticky skin tones. I suppose that's why i like #3, seems more natural skin texture and tone.
cheers

#3

Mostly for the same reasons that have already been mentioned, it is the most natural looking one to me, and I like the composition.

Cheers,

You have over-processed the skin to to the point where your model looks like a blowup doll. It looks fake. Great pics but back off the processing.

Love the lightings

How many lights did you use for the first 3 shots?

[adam]

Nice nice Mattyo!

[Cre8tivepixels]

I agree with the skin thingy.......other than that great shots......!!

[dodge]

Well Done Matt.....No.3 sucks me right in

cheers Joe

[PiroStitch]

the third one is the winner here! intimate and close up composition really makes you connect with her.

[MattyO]

thanks for the nice comments everyone. I really like that 3rd one myself. the skin smoothing i think isn't tooooo bad, im undecided on it yet. alot of magazine shots are the same way tho.

i didn't take a picture of the setup, but it was just one very big softbox in the studio.

if i ever get a chance to shoot there again i'll make sure i show the setup
