p.3 #1 · * HOLY CRAP *.......(15 shots)


i dunno what to say that hasn't already been said. i've only been coming around here on a regular basis since february, so i missed all your prior people posts (hello, alliteration). I am most impressed. I do hope to see more of your work in this forum. She's a natural beauty. Thanks for taking the time to post. I think i'm going to go buy a reflector now.

Hey Kurt,

What size JTL reflector are you using? Gotta get one of those...

Excellent shots - looks like Suicide Bridge in the arroyo around the Rose Bowl (UCLA's football stadium).

This is probably my favorite of the group, though it's a tough choice:





The one B&W treatment looks a little flat; I expect that with a little more tweaking you can get more impact (as everything else is perfect).

Ya know...we're giving all the credit here to Kurt, when everybody knows it's the dude that holds the reflector that's the real artist here!

Seriously, Kurt...nice work. I'm in agreement with Davenhill. The pose he's got posted is my favorite shot as well. I realize these were just a quick 1hr thing for a friend and to see how the lens would do, however if they were to be "for the money"...just a touch more USM on a layer on the eyes might add just a bit more snap. But of course...considering your many talents...you know that.

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Great!!! This model has lots of potential and so does the photograher who took the photos

And what from this when the photographer is shy.

That means what precisely ?

You don't even know me......

Does this have to do with you comment in my other thread where YOU told me I should shoot nudes and I told you that wasn't my style ?

as everyone else already stated these pictures are great and almost flawless in execution although I think they feel just a tad (and this is really just a little tad) unoriginal (excluding the behind-the-scenes-photos which I find rather interesing), I would have like to see more experimental shots that perhaps isn't so perfect!

Wow , you did this in a hour KJ , most impressive

Emil, it isn't about what you or even KJ want at times it is about what the person in Front of the camera wants most. She doesn't really look the type for "experimental" , now does she? All American , Girl Next Door beautiful is just fine by me

John; you're probably right on this one although I still would like to see more pics like the ones including more than "just" a perfect her (and she really is perfect)!

Thanks everyone.

John is right here. She is a very straighforward, down home girl.
Not really experimental.

I do have 1 or 2 other shots I did for 'Fun'.
I'll post them later today........

Thanks again all.
It was a fun, quick hour and I'm totally happy with the lens and she LOVED all the images.
