Nice shots. The background is excellent for these kind of portraits and the light is great. Lens barrel distortion is a little distracting though.

You've got guts to post this again after what happened last time.

yeah and you know who else has guts?

Anywho, nice lighting, needs more vignetting.
>> beethy !vW/UaE6zYU
both shots are pretty nice.... the background's fine.. the lighting is good.
but it's just so so boring and dull

Hows it going? Any luck? Also.. have you thought about possibly using a reflector? Instead of having them against the garage, set them in the window, then have someone there to use the reflector to light them so you get two sources

How tall's the window? You can do a ton of stuff with that !

Just measured.. the window is 6'2" (184cm) and starts 2'2" (64cm) off the ground
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j

So can someone stand up in the window, then? You can do a whole ton of shots with that; just make sure you get someone with a reflector to reflect the light back on them

believe me, its not cheap haha
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
definitely try different things; get someone to reflect the light back, or don't use a reflector and hire a nude model, put her in a see through semi-flowy dress and shoot her silhouette ":)

def gonna try different things, but i also want to continue this project.. i quite like the background and slightly rembrandt-esque side lighting

I'm going to murder you and take your apartment.

I'm with ya.... just natural instinct to go "window!!" I guess. Biggest thing to work on in terms of models is get someone who's more comfortable in posting.. they look stiff and kinda awkward. or at least get them relaxed a bit first, also.
