Sharayah (last one added)

[doctahjones]

i was getting the itch to shoot, so i called up my friend and frequent "personal" model (she hasn't really done alot of modeling, besides with me) Sharayah for a shoot in deep ellum. all natural light, with a white reflector. here's a couple for now, i'll add more later. oh, and the rough/harsh processing is on purpose....



one of my favorites



she really wanted this one

[arich]

she seems really soft, is that just the JPEG conversion?

Verah nice

Both great shots but the 2nd one really stands out.

[Redneck]

Love the first one. The second one is just too over exposed for my taste (I know that this is probably what you were going for).

[doctahjones]

andrew - they are slightly soft off the camera since i was at f/1.8, which makes the dof reeeaalllyyyy shallow (~3/4's of an inch). i always forget to stop down a little more when i'm that close.

thanks to the rest of ya'll


here's another, but i can't decide on using a border or not?

[danchez]

just can't get past all that hair...

[srwatters]

Ditch the border, but I like the last image best.

[Houston-X]

I like the frame on it.

[doctahjones]

dan - the hair is exactly what i wanted , something teased up real big

thanks for the input on the border. the model loves it, and i think i'll keep it as well. it's just 'different' than most of the stuff in have in my port.

here's the latest:

[arich]

thanks for the reply. looooove the model and the location!

[Redneck]

That last one is great. My fave so far.

[doctahjones]

thanks. ya'll.

andre- i actually got the idea from the very first shot in the thread. saw her reflection in the window after i took the shot and remembered a vacant storefront that had large windows from our preshoot drive around. so, at the end of the shoot we went to that storefront and it all worked out . well except for a dbag that kept whistling at her.

dude if you like that hair lets do a morning shoot..I won't have to take a shower and fix my hair!!!!!!!
