I like them all too but the black and white's are my favorites.  Followed by 9. 18. 19 and 20.
Well then there is number 10! 

                             
Thanks Phillips. Glad you like them .

This lighting is tough. Please tell me what you did besides use natural light, if anything.  As a tv news photographer who constantly has to fight light, I am interested. For me, shade is my best friend, as long as there is no sun in the background.
I think the house was more interesting than the model, actually, and I like pretty girls. So that says a lot for the house.

Faxon, thanks for your interest. We actually worked off of nat-light the whole time. I did bring a small VidPro with me, but didn't really need it. ISO varied depending on the room, and it was later in the day, plus partly cloudy and the sun was passing through some trees outside of the windows. I'll typically work with nat-light though over artificial.

What?  No replies?  I was rather thought it was fun and interesting.  Sensual and fanciful.  Maybe even a little erotic but not distasteful or inappropriate.  So I say great work and many compliments to the fearless and beautiful lady in the images.  It looks like she is very comfortable with her body and expressing confidence in the same.  The images are also an expression and appear to be well done, effective and consistent in their execution.  Love to hear more about the behind the scenes when you made them.  Is the lady a model, friend, girlfriend or spouse?  What was your or the ladies' inspiration?  How did you procure the location?  Any assistants?  Thank you for sharing!!

Thanks for the compliments, Rusty. The model's name is Isabel Gonzalez, out of Orlando, FL. The house is located in DeLand, FL, some 40 minutes north of Orlando, and is sort of in a limbo state. Its a historic mansion that was left to decay, found by a preservation group and now has a new roof, foundation, but not much else and they don't have the money to do anything with it. So, it just sits there looking awesome. Really the project was inspired by a combo of both seeing the house for the first time a week prior and my impressions from meeting Isabel for the first time, also a week prior. For the shoot itself, it was just myself and Isabel. I rarely work with assistants.

Phenomenal lighting, especially in the black and whites. Very well done!

Thanks V8

I haven't clicked on the link, but the second pictures here is just fantastic.

Thanks Hobby. Hope you enjoy the rest of the project!

What?  No replies?

I'd only comment on an image if asked for....   

Costello, I noted this and made a modification to the post, just for you .

Thanks for the interest.

Video & Movie / Re: Holy Land Documentary Teaser

« on: December 12, 2012, 09:08:12 AM »

Nice work, Woodruff! Didn't I see this tease the other day? I don't suppose you have more you care to show us....

I'm off to the Middle East, as well, in less than a week, touring Egypt, Jordan and Israel for a total of 20 days. While I'm there on a specific project, I'd be most interested in hearing what were the high points of your trip.

I posted it in the 5D3 Samples section a few days ago. Then I saw saw that there was a video section. Ill be posting some more shorter pieces highlighting the trip soon.

As for your trip, I'm totally jealous. The company I was hired by had me slated for Egypt, but then cancelled it  . Have a great time over there! Highlights for me were the Western Wall (both outside and inside it), Caesarea and the Druze villages of the Golan Heights (I think its Buq'ata that's built in an old volcano crater?) There's also a Hookah lounge in Tiberius in the old square next  to the abandoned mosque (right by the sea). Pretty cool atmosphere.

My best advice is to always be shooting and always be ready for the unexpected. I know thats kind of redundant for a trip like this, but things really do take you by surprise. Especially in Jerusalem. The place is so diverse and so active that you really dont know what will walk around the corner. And just as fast as it happens, its over. If you make it to Palestine, be open minded. I ran into a pretty big rally in Bethlehem and started shooting video in the crowd. Two guys who were waving the big flag and saw me.....and immediately started cheering to get my attention and started singing. Eventually the whole group chimed it. It was pretty awesome.

As for Jordan, Petra is probably one of the most fascinating places I've ever been to. Give yourself plenty of time to get to the back of it (takes a few hours from the main entrance). Also, if a Bedouin merchant asks you to tea in her tunnel house (they live in the tunnels networking throughout the city), do it! Its a once in a lifetime experience.

Otherwise, have a safe trip and take some great shots!

I thought 5D3 files were not compatible with LR 3?

Haven't had a problem so far.

Nice images. You probably got to see more in person than a lot of people ever will, with all the turmoil and such going on in that part of the world.

Thanks, sleep. It was a great experience. Incredibly colorful and quite peaceful more a less until the missles started dropping.

Awesome!  I like the teaser!  Is the black flashing of the cross inlay right before the transition supposed to be there?

Thanks, blue!  Yep, they are supposed to be there
