 Michelle again. This time around the lighting was amazing and we both let go a lot more and tried different things. I forgot how much I missed piercing close-ups. This shoot has made me realize what I want to aim more towards; capturing the genuine.

I think I renamed this a million times. I have no idea waht to call it. This is one of my very favorite images, I feel it expresses a lot. I have a diptych of this with an image of her looking away that I feel has even more impact.

I hope this image is apprecaited, whatever the score may be.

the processing is nice and gritty, the angle is good with the shoulders forming a strong diagonal, but the "gaze" and the presentation of the chest makes this a voyeuristic, "sex sells" sort of photograph that robs it of the chance of making a real connection with the viewer.

Nobody wants to see someones armpits! Might want to consider a crop. Beautiful eyes and mouth.

This is quite interesting with b&w tones and the freckles. It really brings some character to the photo and still lets it be a "glam" type photo. Very well done!

pretty model, i like the pov and you've got a good connection with her in terms of her expression and eyes. The skin tones are not that flattering (?heavy on the blue channel?) And I like the lighting.
