    Hmmm, if you're truly aiming to get yourself off the ground with your magazine and artistic flare, think a company like Playboy or another publishing company would be interested?

    You could consider doing a video portfolio too. I may be costly, but there are ways to get around all that if you use your creative instincts.

    noooooo don't use the plastic wrap effect. Most preprogrammed effects in photoshop just end up looking campy and cheap. As a general rule avoid them unless you plan on using them to the effect that the viewer won't see it if they know the effect.

    It's been beaten into my head over the last three years that stuff like that makes one's work appear unprofessional and cheesy, so even if I would've liked it before I've been conditioned against it. -_-

    I don't know. I've never been one to go with what other people think. The client liked it, and in the end that's really all that matters. I'm still learning, but I've sold over 10,000 magazines in 6 issues.

    Something has to be working.

    It would have been nice if you had kept her real looking, but messed with the furniture/Background
    Like a Salvador Dali Picture.

    I love the artistic build of the set and the model! Fantastic poses and I love the dress and how its draped. But Im not feeling that effect you added though.

    You are very talented!

    Yeah...I think you are right. I'm actually going to try it again, and see if I can do the same thing but make it blend A LOT better.

    No, its not crap. Not at all - I just think it sort of dampen your work on the set/model/props...Your work on that sort of get hidden by it.

    Love the other set you put up - especially the bnw ones but Ima sucker for nice bnw pics:)

    Its ok *sniff* *sniff* I can take it. (j/k) I actually can take it. I don't mind a picking a part of my work, I only get testing when people talk about the men and women that stand in front of my camera. I have taken some images of some BBW that are SMOKIN', but I rarely if ever post them.

    Some of my best work I can't post (which sucks) I only post where where a model posed for me, or the client signed a release. I'm MOSTLY a standard portrait photographer, but I think that really shows some of my most crisp REAL shots.

    ...you

    ...me

    ...camera

    ...you in a some tight fitting jeans, and.......he he he.......your hair down.

    magic I tell you, magic.

    (dear person who sends me a nasty reps everytime I talk about FG....I'm only jokin'.....unless she's going to do it)
