A few shots from my last two shoots.....thoughts and opinions welcome!

I am loving the green and black hair.
Does she wear blue/purple contacts? her eyes look awesome in #4. I like the background and lighting in #3.

Cool concepts!

In the first one – and I'm on an uncalibrated laptop right now – her left hand and right thigh look totally blown out. The difference in exposure between them and the opposite limbs throws me off just a bit.

Now, I'm not expert on having guns pointed at me, but I think the aim of the guns needs to match her gaze. They are pointed slightly down although she is looking straight at the camera. With such a strong stance, they should also be pointed evenly to make the overall image stronger. In the second shot especially, one is higher than the other. That's a minor detail that could take a good image to great.

All that said, the colors and lighting overall are awesome.

The uneven nose piercing in #3 is distracting and looks like a boog...
#2 and 4 are the better of them.

She is wearing contacts, but not tinted, I saturated the colors a little, but didn't change them. She showed up to the shoot with colored hair, not quite what I was expecting, but I think it worked out well!

Yes, the left hand was a little blown out...she was getting too close to the lamp, but I really liked how her hair was flaring across her face like a mask, so I thought it may draw the attention away from the hands a little. Likewise, the props were real, and heavy, so she was having a little trouble holding them steady!

Love this shoot! Loving the eyes in the last one.
