I went to visit Billie-Jean at her condo a few hours ago. This was to meet and discuss a possible photoshoot. Of course, I had my trusy rusty camera with me and had to take a few test shots "just to see". It turns out that her condo is quite fine for shooting. Admittedly, a bit short of light (needing ISO 6400) - but that turned out to be an advantage in retrospect. It also has a very promising balcony - much to my delight.

The lighting was low energy fluorescent - with a terrible colour spectrum for photography - must remember to take tungsten bulbs for the real shoot - or at least take a Macbeth colour chart for reference colour.

Here are the essentially candid shots while we were discussing the type of shooting that we intend to do in the near future.

C&C welcome

1.

love no 1 and no 4 not keen on the lighting in the last one. It will be interesting to see the next session

This is my kinda stuff....Love the emotion, lighting........she's very pretty as well which help of course. Can't wait to see the next round.

nice work

The first one is outstanding. I find some of things in the BG distracting, but for test shots...well i hope you post the real thing soon.

+1

Looks like you two will have a very creative and emotive shoot!

I find number 1 the best (and great) as well.

Really like the first one, very emotional

I like 1 & 3. Is she a model, actress or musician? What type of portfolio is she looking for?

Thanks for the comments (all people)

This lady is a beginning model who is mostly interested in edgy work.

#1 is far, far better than the others IMO. I love it.

comments on the added images for post processing appreciated.

Really nice shots, you both did great.

Love them all. Love the grain.

#3 and #7 are so "realist" and "dreamy" ... I know, it's quite strange but you're mixing the 2 styles and it works.

Anymore of Billie Jean? Keep us posted?

Nice shots. NSFW warning would have also been nice.

A lot of wonderful images come across here, and I don't comment often. #1 is so knock-it-out-of-the-park good that I can't even say anything useful. It took me a good five minutes before I could move on to the rest.

would have been nice to know these were NSFW.


aside from that...good shots.

Sorry, my bad! I forgot that one of the added images was NSFW since the original was safe.
