Model Shoot... - DPChallenge Forums

I had another model shoot on Nov. 1. Here are a few of my faves from it. Any thoughts?

I really like the lighting on Sarah 3 but I don't like the position of her hands. Again, great lighting - far from boring!

P.S. I've been watching America's Next Top Model (I know, forshame! lol) and they keep saying that having the mouth open like in some of Sarah's shots is what porn stars do, not models. :-)

I agree with GoldBerry on the mouth open/closed. Sarah2 looks like her head is at an odd angle. But good lighting all around.

Interestingly enough I just checked out a couple of Tyra Banks web pages. In about 60% or so of her pictures her mouth is slightly open.

BAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

..as for Tyra Banks, I believe it, the show is strange..they tell the models not to do something but then tell them it's okay to do it, just not the way they were doing it. As in, if you're gonna do it: make sure you're doing it right. In this case, their point was that a lot of the girls just looked like little tramps.

Oy vey!

In my opinion porntsars,models or nuns... aren't defined by how their mouth is opnened or closed...it's more about who they are and what they do.

well, yea, of course...it's not a matter of opinion: that's pretty much fact.

We're talking about perception here. GilP, you don't form perceptions of people based on things like body language and how they look? Come on now......tell us the truuuuuuth......

Yeah, great photos...the only one I'm not a big fan of is Sarah 2 as it makes her stomach look unflattering. It's obvious from the other photos that her figure is great but that photo is deceiving.

Other than that, great work!

but did that perception come from yourself or because you heard it on tv? If over half of Tyra Banks' pictures have her with her mouth open and you hadn't noticed it before...well...

Of course perception and posture influences me, I can't argue that BUT it has a lot more to do with the "whole" image... in the case of these images, there is not even a hint of porn or even erotica, so I don't percieve the model (or her mouth) as having a "pornstar" vibe.

i'm almost embarassed to say that I've watched that show. I do 'fashion' type portraits, Model comp card shots and things that like. And I've been wondering why they never blame the photographer for just plain taking a bad photo. Given that models are 'professionals' (not that kind syckos) the photogs should be too. On that show I think they take the one they like least and turn it in. And IMHO they havn't shot a good shot yet, something tells me there is more to this than terrible models. sort of like an untalented mixed drink.

P.S. Sorry to talk about this in this thread :) I still think these shots are done incredibly well.

edit: on the pornstar comment. Pornstars have nothing subtle about their looks, I think they had a brain fart when they spoke and said pornstar when they meant centerfold i.e. playboy etc.

Just my thoughts
