The make up is excellent, but I'm struggling to work out why the model was topless for most of it. His body probably isn't his strongest point! (apologies if it's someone you know)

?? I thouht his body was bloody ripped, hate the fker as my keg and bh tits just dont quite do it for the girls. It was for his portfolio too, he wanted some body shots as he didn't have any. I think he has a great body (clearly in a manly mates appreciation way)

I guess having been into fitness for as long as I can remember I'm probably more critical than most! What I meant was I can't see him being hired on the strength of his body, but if he wants that kind of shot in his portfolio then fair game!

As long as he's happy that's all that matters smile He's certainly got a different look.

Ah, you're assuming there that Stiggers booked the model, when he could well have been offering to do a shoot to update the models portfolio and have something different for his at the same time.

That MUA's a cutey as well smile

Actually looking at his other work, I kind of presumed the shoot was done at the models request (and perhaps cost)

+1 for the MUA, although photo No 1 does nothing for her, No 2 is OK whilst No 3 is excellent.

All IMVHO.

I'm new to studio portraiture so C+C is welcome.







We've just started a studio group at the cam-club so I'm hoping to learn and improve over the next few months smile

Pete, Beki has a new hair colour incase you're shooting with her again. I met with her yesterday



Today I shot with someone who's work I've admired for a long time. I wasnt able to do her justice, but a few from the set (the rest were art nude)

how do you mean?

The set up was all using natural light. As you see the arches into the distance they also were behind me. I used a reflector on a stand positioned in the arch behind me to reflect sun light down into the shot.

That what you on about?
