I don't come over to this forum much as I'm not much of a people photographer but have great respect for those who are and do it well. These are done very well indeed!!! Not only that, but everyone looks like they were having a blast, which shows through in the final product. Thanks for sharing these and giving me some inspiration.

12 is super.... love the idea and execution..... great set, Sam!!!

I really like number 7 and 18. Thanks for adding behind the scene pics. It's always fun to watch.

Sam if you ever write a book, I'll buy a copy or 3. Maybe I can learn something.

Stunning work Sam!
There are a couple of facial expressions that don't work (# 11, 17 right, 20), but apart from that they are absolutely incredible.

Oh...and I don't think your shirt is orange. Nice try though. I'd call it "fruity salmon"

The photos are spectacular. I like #2 and #9 the best. I could not personally accomplish anything like this. Having said that, I think the "beautiful model in the beautiful dress in the abandoned grungy factory or warehouse" is getting a bit passe.

love 5 and 7

man... these are sweet...

I seem to be another in the long list that think these images are mint.

You don't surprise me any more Sammy.

Maurice, your pix are pure class.

Well done lads.

BK

Awesome...looks like you guys had a great time. I really need to hunt down some locations like that.

Phenomenal - I started to list what were truly inspirational - but just got too many ......

What a set to inspire and try to achieve - thanks guys

Thanks for the love guys.

SOOC images for those interested. I usually just do a curves adjustment, vignette and a web sharpening. I like natural looking images for the most part. I rarely deviate from this formula.

Andrew, you need friends man.

Sam, do you think you could do something like this with Paul, like Steady is asking? That would be ah~sum!!

Awesome series. My fav - 1, 5, 6

Thanks, Sam. I'm amazed how much vignettes help and have just started playing w/ them. They're much easier to do in Photoshop than in Gimp

Just truly amazing series of photographs.
I'm jealous! Well done.

stunning shots sam. 1-7 are much stronger then the rest IMO

No, serious. . . .

pure awesomeness.

Amazing shots. I can't say anything that has not already been said.

Your shots give me something to work towards. Thanks for sharing!

18 is such that it overshadows the other excellent work. That womans shoulders, her head, the light - one I'd be hangin on the wall in the largest format possible.

I haven't been to this site in some time... maybe close to a year but had a young girl ask me to do her senior pics yesterday so I thought I'd look around to get some posing ideas when I came across this post. I have to say this is the most impressive display of talent I've seen in a long time. I don't know what your buddies came away with but they would be hard pressed to equal what you did in my opinion.

awesome work!

Good photographers take good photographs.
You prove this with each post.
