p.1 #1 · An edgy lifestyle session in Asbury. - MG Collaboration Part One.
I'm doing a little three part project. My next two posts will be themed lifestyle sessions. Today is an edgy lifestyle session in Asbury. Make-up done by Cady Grossman. Here are some of my favorites. The rest can be found on my blog! Enjoy

Very nice. Cool locations. I love your processing on these and how they are so devoid of other people. In 3, I'd be tempted to get rid of those cars, to give it an even more 'empty' feel. I also don't really get the sign kicking in 12. Normally I'll see that kinda thing if the sign is telling you 'not' to do something and you're trying to show a little rebellion. But this sign is so polite, like "Hey please be careful, we don't want you to get hurt", so kicking it, is like hitting your grandma or something ;-)

2, 10 and 13 are just stellar for me! Great job!
Doesn't really strike me as a lifestyle shoot, though. When I think of that, I think more documentary PJ style, whereas these looked posed. They do look great, though! Nice job!

Thank you for the critique. I thought about taking out the cars in 3, however, I like the idea of her being away from the public. The background is normal life, and she is in her own world behind that grungy dumpster. So in that respect, I feel like it fits in a cool way which isn't too distracting. But heck, maybe I'll take out the cars to see which shot I do like best!
at the grandma comment! I put that picture in for the lulz. It's not really edgy at all, other than adding humor to the blog post

The pictures where she is addressing the camera with her eyes are the best.
I had chills editing the pics of her looking into the camera. Her eyes are very powerful!

All good, I like #10 the best.
Thank you! 10 is personal favorite of mine as well. (Along with 13)

I've had that happen a couple times I post pictures on here. I really don't do much with posing, other than slight direction on my end. Maybe these are more fashion/editorial? It's something I've been considering getting more into (besides my usual wedding sessions)

Haha thanks Mike! My next post on here should be REAL good.

If you want to get into fashion/editorial, then this fits into that genre quite nicely and would make some very nice portfolio shots.
thanks man! I'll definitely be updating my portfolio soon. I have two other styled shoots in the process of being blogged (I'll post previews here). I'm trying to slowly move away from the wedding scene for a bit.

My personal favorite, like some others have said, is #10. There's a connection there with the viewer that is magic. Also like the way her hair color on the left side matches the rusty wall, and on the top and right matches the creamy wall on the left. Love the gradation of shadow on the right side vs. the lighted left side. Great job!
