2nd set of 4 portraits for C & C

Morlar

I thought I would post a few more pics if anyone wants to check them out.

Of these 4 pictures 2 are straight from the camera (which was the norm for that entire set and 2 were processed intentionally to give them a kind of 'jack vettriano' kind of look, not in terms of pose or content - just the 'look'.

As usual with devart click on the pics for full view.

I'm liking these alot, the colour and lighting is really good imo. I don't have anything more to say really. Well done.

I really like thinking things over and in her hands.The composition and light are both very appealing in each shot and both these images really work for me. I don't like the other two at all.Sorry,her skin looks like palstic in them.For me,the processing is that little bit too heavy in those shots.

Thats cool conmike - thanks for checking. I knew those 2 wouldnt be to everyones tastes - there is a scottish painter called Vettrianno :

that I was trying to emulate a tad. It does make the skin look a little un-nattural as it kind of makes the pictures look a bit like paintings. The reason for it was that it was the way to process them that seemed to suit those 2 particular pics. Thanks again for checking.

I had no idea that bloke was scottish...

As you say, it's a taste thing and I'm not sure about the painterly like finish, but I do really like the pose in both 'in her hands' and 'butterfly pose'. I do think though, that the butterfly one might benefit from excluding the dark trousers and the table at the left hand side, when I viewed it large and scrolled so the only dark areas were her eyes and hair it looked fantastic, surrounded by the delicate white material. I thought so, anyway.

I like how you've been working with the same model and you can see something developing over time with her.

Cheers - just checked and I know what you mean about the crop on that one. Kind of not sure about the look of them either but thought fancied a change anyway. Thanks for checking.
