"In The Darkness" Is My Fav...Well Done, Shady!

The photos are good, but I hate to see even theatrical use of cigarettes as a prop. Hope that beautiful young woman isn't in time burdened with anguish and regret.

Great set love the lighting

Interesting idea and I like the shots but as with any photographer I would have done a few things different. I think the hair goodies and all the rings are distracting. I hate being able to see a bra. Take it off, being as all you see is her back anyway, or wear a solid top.

Play with fire is great!

love these ones shady... i thought they were you when i saw them on your site... i need models bad, i see so many people i would love to photograph... love them all but your thumb esp. and in darkness.

Thanks all.. I appreciate your feedback, as always! :) And thanks for the ideas, ClassyShots... this was not a planned shoot, as I said this was a friend of a friend who was just happened to be around for a short while that evening (she was already dressed that way, about to go out somewhere if I recall) and she agreed to pose for a few quick shots so I didn't really 'style' this or anything, it was just a spur of the moment thing. Since I never have any actual models to shoot I took the opportunity that was presented. Personally, I would love to be able to control an entire shoot- wardrobe and everything- but as I can't afford to pay a model, I have to make do. Sigh. I would have done some things differently had I had the chance, but oh well. I only had about 5 minutes to shoot this girl, heh. Thank you, knepomuk... I didn't get so much of an orange tint as I did toooo much darkness, which I lightened up a tinytiny bit in PS in some just so more details would be visible (except for a few shots, like in darkness and play with fire, those I left as-is cause I kinda liked the spookiness of the darkness in those) javsmom... I hear ya on the model thing... if I had a willing friend I would be pressing them into modeling service constantly, heheheh. Unfortunately I don't know anyone who will model for me without the pay, which, as a broke person, I cannot afford, Doh. Thanks for the kind words :)

In the Darkness, is my favorite, Shady! It reminds me of a horror movie, not one in particular, just the general mood and lighting. Very nice set!

Neat set! Nothing but candlelight & in the darkness are wonderful. How fun, no way can I get people shots. Would like to try sometime tho!

Good experiment. "play with fire" is my fave. They all have a mysterious feel.

javs... oh, totally... we would have a blast eh? Damned long distances...! --shakes fist at sky-- And loweho... ooooh, THANK YOU. I love things spooky above all, so you just paid me a gi-normous compliment, woot! Thanks again for all the feedback, guys... I really appreciate it. I actually shot these a few years ago(!), back when I lived in New Jersey... and I am back in Texas now. So, unfortunately, no chance of enticing her back for more photos, doh. I have been on the lookout for willing models around here since I moved back but so far no takers (well, none that will work for anything less than a big paycheck, oi) And I am broke as a joke, right now, heh. So I guess I'll have to just keep looking.
