The silouettes are my favorites

I love #3 (however I would crop it higher myself), but these are all great.

The silhouettes are my favorites too... I think nude maternity that shows "stuff" looks better in darker light so the "stuff" isn't detracting from the point of the shoot (the maternal part). VERY beautiful mother; I certainly didn't look that good when I was pregnant

Thanks everyone. That third shot I took in all kinds of crops.. higher, more zoomed out, zoomed in, her positioned to the right.. I tried it all

Very nice - and you had a "model" who hadn't let her thighs get out of control.

I think 3 would be better as an 8x10 cropped above the knees.

Adore the first one...




I have 17 smart remarks... but I am bypassing them all in favor of silence.

Wow, these are a huge leap forward technically from the last post I saw of yours!
They are lovely, and they are real art that she will be able to treasure forever.

Ditto on 1 and 3. Really, Really cool! Love the blue tone.

I'd comment, but I am running around after these pesky thighs of mine.

Those are beautiful!! I only wish that I looked that good pregnant because after seeing those I'd love to get some of myslef done like that. If only I could go back to the beginning of this pregnancy and lay off the chocolate so my "thighs didn't get out of control!"

Jenni-
These are beautiful. Truly lovely, something she will treasure.

Lovely.

But does she know her nude pictures are posted on the internet for all to see and copy? Did she sign something saying she knew they'd be public? Just wondering how photographers handle this.

I read in another thread that this is a "private forum." That, by the way, is not true. Anybody can register.

I think the images are great, I really love the first one.




Remind me to kick you - HARD - if I ever meet you in person.



Only 17? I know you scored higher than that on the profanity test...

Jules, yes she is okay with it. This shoot was meant for my portfolio.. to show to others. I did those pictures for free and just asked to use them as portfolio material. She isnt shy at all about posing nude... but then with a body like that I wouldnt either So yeah, I have permission.

My set up... well I work out of a tiny basement studio with very low ceilings.. so its a bit of make do sometimes. I had two lights set on full power, on each side of the backdrop, directed straight onto the backdrop... no extra light on her.. the white reflected back just enough. I had her standing.. I would say about 6 feet away from the backdrop.
Later in PS I just cleaned the backdrop a bit and added some slight contrast. For the blueish shots I first turned the pic b&w then went to "Hue/Saturation" clicked "colorize" and now adjusted the hue until I liked the colour.

As for the out of control thighs... I will shut up about that one

Hey Jennifer,

Simply amazing work. #1 & 3 really catch my eye with the silhouette and colour tone. Nicely done!
