Sam,

On #22 and #23, did you use a reflector to bounce the window light (behind her) back into the face of the model?

(great photos)

Tom

alright folks, i had to be "responsible" and ditch my taxes for a few minutes to get these up. not much work was done on them, but you'll get the point. btw, holy radness....sam, fu, chung, zach i am super impressed. you guys all killed it!
here are my takes, i couldn't narrow it down on some. if i posted the same photo in color and bw, it means i'd like your critique on which one you like better. ready for a whole slew of photos? haha, enjoy.

18 B&W or color? I'm torn on this one.

22 Same dilemma, different photo. haha.

Damn, its too bad I had to miss this one!

The couture is awesome. Who hooked that up? You guys need to break that person off FATLY. The models are incredible, creative, and sweet looking too, but I gotta give props to whoever did the styling and makeup. Great teamwork here, its apparent that everyone stepped up their game and went for uniqueness rather than just any singular direction, the obvious, or "best" shot that is so typical of lesser workshop-type shoots.

It would have been cool to meet the new faces, I'm familiar with Yoon's killer work. Would have been cool to see Fu there, too.

Sam, your stuff is high calibre as usual and I love #4, #18, #39. Well, actually on #4 she keeps stopping me for some reason.

Scott, dude, you really busted out too--I love #9, and 26 especially.

Chung, #14, #19... I'm not a big fan of multiple models in one image but these work really well. Welcome to FM!

FC... Sup dude! Your #4 and #7 bring it. Welcome, this is a killer group to play with. And next time put #'s on yo shiz so it easier to critique.

3rd element... (swim r/Zach) #7 has a ton of pop. Clean up and brighten most of their faces and that'll be a fantastic set IMO.

Anxiously awaiting Tinywater's set. Have a sneaking suspicion its gonna make my head spin...

I think a few artistic semi-nudes would have been more than possible by the end of the day and would have been just perfect there. Perhaps next one.

Maurice-

I agree, I have to do some of the finer post processing still, problem is that I am bogged down at the moment.

We missed you not being there... I was the sole nikon guy, everyone was giving me bad looks behind my back...

I find it funny how many people are hung up on the "OMG" part of this thread... IT WAS A JOKE PEOPLE! Have you forgotten how to have a little fun? Geez, lighten up!

Otherwise, fantastic work guys, it's inspiring me to want to put together a similar thing up here in Deeeeetroit Michigan. Crack houses are the Motor City castles!

Fu's set just imploded my dang 'puter. That behind-the-scenes, thru-the-elbow shot is freakin' sick!

Scott,

18 or 19, I like 19 better, the color works well here IMO.
22 or 23, I like 23 better, I think the B&W makes a stronger impression.

Thanks everyone, this shoot was fun beyond words.

Jessie...Zach brought his Profoto set up and we used it for one area, then I had my trusty Strobist setup for mobility. The shots of the guys are with the Profotos and the girls (from me) are with the speedlight.
Quantum...Thanks. I appreciate the input.
