My Favorite "Tween" Model.....

[The Loft Studios]

Whenever I need a Model to practice or try new and different techniques with..... there she is!

Very nice. I think I would like the last three a lot better if I didn't look at them one right after the other. You know what I mean? They all three stand great by themselves, but I think it loses a little when you put them next to each other.

That isn't a critique of the images though! The one critique I have is in the last image... what is the point of the bottom left? That distracts my attention.

I am loving #2...can't stop staring at it! Great work!

Beautiful shots. This is the mom in me speaking - she is too young for pose #2! :)

[Jeff_Green]

Maybe it's because I am not a mom nor do I have a daughter, but how is #2 any different than 3 or 4 other than you can see her hair in #2?

Being a father of two daughters, I was kind of thinking the same thing. But, they are beautifully done pictures.

Love the first one. The rest are little too grown-up for a tween, I think. However, the technical aspects are very nice.

Agree with John. I love the images, but would be upset to see my Tween daughter posing for them.

2 is spectacular, WOW!!!

I'll agree but the photography is well done

I agree with John. the photos are technically well done, but I would not let my daughter pose for those except for #1.

For me, since there is nothing else for my eye to wander to in the photograph (#2), I am immediately drawn to the fact that she is not wearing a shirt (or at least that's how it's posed to appear). It's not quite as in-your-face in #3 and 4 because of the other compositional elements of those photos. And the pose itself (#2) feels more sensual to me than the others - particularly the thrust of her shoulder just screams "sexy" to me.

Young or not these images are superb. They remind me of the work of Sally Mann

The above photos are beautiful, and stunning to look at, but I agree with the comments that after I get past staring at the eyes, I question why is she not wearing a shirt? I presume that she is, but for my (admittedly, old fashioned, non-hip & un-cool self), I question if the shots are age appropriate?

I guess I will just never be a connoisseur of the arts... The Sally Mann link, made me very uncomfortable as a viewer.

Please understand I showcase her work because she deals with the topic of nudity and sensual awareness of (her own) children in a respectful and highly artistic manner. Her children portrayed here still support the publication of her work, which has been collected and exhibited by major museums all over the world. Please respect that ART-FORUM.org is about the artistic presentation of the nude body, not limited to so-called "erotic photography" and certainly not dealing with child pornography.

I respectfully disagree with Kanyi. Sally Mann's style, tonal, dynamic range and use of light, especially, natural light are altogether different. Mark's shots are good but not in the same genre as Sally's... Tri.
