Racy!

This was for the magazine but now won't be used. :-( It's a hot shot and I am really pleasd with how it came out. This is a more racy version of a more toned down version. For the magazine it was for, it's actually pretty tame. Perhaps too tame? Who knows. The middle shots from the story were weak though. That's when everyone was fighting. Probably the best thing a photographer can do, is develop a sense of unbiased critique of his/her own work. It's important to be able to cut through the crap that people will tell you, "oh it's lovely! beautifull" or "Sucks, hate it!" and develop an accurate internal sense to be able to gauge your own work. You need to be able to measure yourself against yourself. Sychophancy is rampant in this lifestyle so even though people might say I'm pretty self critical, I think it's important to know honestly where you stand in relation to your peers and in relation to your potential. And I love this picture. It's HOT. (BTW: It's actually shot with just the modeling lights, not the flash). Oh yeah, and forgive the quality- it's a quick scan from a film. The film version is awesome.
