I posted a few of the shots from the studio session from last week for my instructor and the model to see. Thought you guys might like to see some of them. Made a quick gallery page that's seperate from my website. Use the link above to see them. Ended up with about 65 good shots and about 15 really great ones that I liked a lot. Made 8.5 x 11" prints for my critique session with Patricia. That went really well. Now it gets tough. She's given me two assignments to complete and man, she did not take it easy on me. :) Gonna be a little tough, but fun too. -=>Donald

Donald these are fantastic..... I think photographing people is probably one of the hardest things to do. You are definitely doing a great job. Look forward to more...!

I am, therefore I create.......

Wow! "two assignments to complete and man, she did not take it easy on me. :) Gonna be a little tough, but fun too." I can hear you trembling from here. Fantastic work, Donald. Looks like you've been doing this all your life.

good work Donald, I like 095, 169, because to me less is more in a nude study, keep up the good work! Jack

Thanks guys ... this has already been a great experience and seems as though it will only get better. Learned so much already from Patricia. Misha - You're darn right. :) I have two assignments to work on. The first one is a bit scary. She wants me to find several images that I really like (and you guys know the caliber of photographer that I like) and then I am to completely disect the photos, break down everything from poses to lighting to camera angles and then re-create the photos in the studio. And after I get it right, she then wants me to change it and "make the photo my own". Oh mama. :) -=>Donald
