and another. My wife is getting the biggest kick out of these and wants people to see them so it's easiest to post here and email 1 link.

I love the dof here in these last few ... from mike to ears there's great focus. Colour all looks spot on to me as well.
My only critique would be that you are simulating a singer on stage (Man I hope you are only simulating and not putting that poor lady through hell!! ) so I think the lighting should also simulate that. The bricks suggest a little nightclub wall somewhere deep in the city so maybe some subdued lighting with a spotlight or something like that might enhance the mood and strength of the image. Depends on the realism you are going for I guess.

Yeah, I think I might snoot a light from above to simulate a soft spot light on the face.

Thanks for the honest input everyone!! This was a hard shoot because everything was very cramped and I did not have 100% control. Normally I like models to be a good 5-10 feet in front of a background but in this case maybe I was about 4 feet from the wall. I actually tried a more sophisticated lighting plan but the spill was everywhere so I decided to settle for a less sophisticated setup and 'just shoot'. More to come....

Thanks to susan I finally got to see this thread that I managed to miss probably because it was originally posted just after I joined. I love these. Marko, you are a man of a thousand faces. What a great set!

Nope, no make-up. I'm naturally this beautiful.

These are hilarious, and very well done. Marko, who knew you're an actor and a comedian, as well as a photographer?

Those are cool Marko. I never saw these before as they are a few years old.
I think Mike has summed up it up well.

Man. I pay to look half as good. Enjoy that natural beauty, Marko!
