I've gone a bit patriotic with my last couple of shoots, what with the Olympics and it being a jubilee year. If I get enough together, I may do myself a little book.
Feel free to comment.
Tracey, I thought you'd like that one the most somehow (it was Tracey's idea). I don't know whether I like the second one best or not. I like the eyes in the third. More to come as I'm doing a series.
The second and third are taken in a club in Wigan, which is an ideal place to shoot and setup a studio. You never know, there may be a group shot coming up there soon, if there is any interest....
Whilst I like the overall theme and style, I think that the girl in the second photo looks a bit 'sweaty', with the sheen on her cheeks and forehead.
It can be a nuisance sometimes. It's something that I try to keep an eye on during shoots and occasionally stop shooting and ask them to apply more makeup.
I would think that you could clone/reduce/paint out the amount of shine, or leave it if it doesn't bother you.
