You definitely captured the emotions you were going for, IMHO, but I think the chair should be visible in the last four, even if it's lying on its side in the background. (I keep looking for it, wondering where it went...)

Shouldn't these be in The Human Form forum??

Yep should have kept the chair in the background. I like the idea but I think the lighting is a bit to bright JMHO. I know they are hard (almost impossible) to find but a grungy where house setting would have been cool.

Great photo story! The pics look like they have been somewhat desaturated, which is not a bad thing necessarily if that's the look you were going for. I agree about the chair.

Happy shooting! (so to speak)

I like the tight crop and edgy look. Tell us about the lighting please.

First off good concept. I can see the edge that you are trying to bring but all the normal posing rules still apply, do some reading on how to pose females. In the second image it is a little awkward on the stomach, I understand what you are trying to capture but the posing is still important. The lighting is pretty good but you might want to use a ringflash or some lighting with a little more emotion.

What do you mean by little more emotion?
In what way?
I was going for a darker feel.Did I not capture that quite right?
Thank you for the help
and the rest of you too.
