You've posted one glam w the Color edit, 3 "artistics" w the B&Ws. ALL are effective w various clients. ALL! 👍

Personally? I found it easier to monetize the glamour/sexy schmexy, than my art images. The one genre financed the other for me. Then again, I don't have your skills either!

I'm torn between the third and fourth.

I like the abstract strangeness I feel from the third one thanks to that plant she's holding, but the fourth one has a sense of restfulness and peacefulness that I also find appealing.

Basically, comparing those two is an apples/oranges comparison.

For me, they're higher than the first one, which is nice (and I do generally prefer color over B&W), but I also prefer nudes generally. The second, I just really personally hate the aesthetic of those shoes. 😅

I do like mirrors in pictures, but that's when they show what the camera angle conceals.

Musing on mirrors a bit, now that I'm thinking about it, I often find myself wondering what poses look like from alternate angles, so I like it when a mirror answers that to some extent.

I hope my rambling has been helpful!

Absolutely, thanks. 🙏

The first one. I prefer the pose and composition, as well as it being in colour. The palette is really strong and pops out.

Number 2 because intriguing: her pose is dynamic, the reflection adds interest, and the reflected windows raise questions of voyeurism, exhibitionism, and who’s using who.

Number 3 is a close second: mild surreal vibes, and hiding the face while naked raises interesting questions

4. Reclining nude. To judge photography (I’ve done a lot of this), my first assessment rule is when glancing for less than a second, which picture do I look at twice…that picture is then taken to my second system of critique. The other pics failed to grab my attention for several reasons. DM for why

thomasholmphoto.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thanks. Why not is less interesting than why in my opinion. There can be a million reasons why something doesn’t capture attention, it’s a much more narrow path to capture.
Thanks. 🙏

I would say Nbr 2. Beautiful shapes and lines that also creates a movement, within the still. Then the mirror reflection.
The lines, creates a momentum that is nice.

3. Unusual. And I liked the sense of energy and movement towards the viewer conveyed by the plant material. Only one I clicked back to for a second look.

#4 has the best interplay between light and dark. #3 has interesting texture

The third one! Bush meets bush

jamesvincentphoto.bsky.social•7 days ago

I'm going to cop out and say all four. It depends on the genre and intent. It's gratifying that you are not pigeon holing yourself to one style - something i try not to do.

dreamsequencephoto.bsky.social•7 days ago

The 3rd one. I like the surreal nature of it.

charlieblackwood.bsky.social•7 days ago

#4- there's just something so very serene about the composition.

teigetje13.bsky.social•7 days ago

#4 I love the lines, the curves. The difference in light and shade.

mscholtheis.bsky.social•7 days ago

I’m torn between image one and two. I love the abstract lines and contrast of the model’s curves in the color one, but the symmetry of the black and white shot also draws me in. The reflection of the house in the second one disturbs the balance a bit for me, though.

cjdan.bsky.social•7 days ago

#3 few few distractions makes the motive very clear cut and still with amble possibilities for interpretation. Resemblance with a tree, or…

nbliziotis.bsky.social•7 days ago

#4 for its calmness and serenity.

rapha8475.bsky.social•7 days ago

The third one, the complete abstractness of the composition rather than a generic editorial shot - they’re all great btw just the 3rd stands alone somewhat

garfinkelphoto.bsky.social•7 days ago

I like the last two best :)

marc-ayres.com•7 days ago

I mean, they're all amazing. For me it's No.4
No.1 I struggle with colour. I focus on her suit not form
No.2 I love, but the houses in the reflection are both interesting but also a distraction.
No.3 is simply gorgeous
No.4 I love the curves, the light, the reflection of her face, everything.

srmacpherson.bsky.social•7 days ago

Last one. Simple, uncluttered, good lines and lighting.

The fourth one would be perfect without that shadow on her back.

edgarmtoro.bsky.col.social•7 days ago

Barring that one the second with the reflection on the glass.

funkographer.bsky.social•7 days ago

The second.
For composition and geometry Mostly 😉

mikenicoll.bsky.social•7 days ago

The third one… abstract creativity and intrigue

ericadeleye.bsky.social•7 days ago

#3 is my favorite because of the symmetry within the images. I like the lines in the image. I also like how the bushes she is holding goes along with her bush that she is revealing. The two elements of versions of bushes plays together well.

clay-57.bsky.social•7 days ago

The one in the red suit. The pose and the outfit accentuate the lines of her body perfectly.

rbornscheuer.bsky.social•7 days ago

The first one. I like that I can see her face, and the pose is beautiful. I think the red suit in combination with hard light enhance her curves in a very sensual way. Color and contrast are very important to this photo.

3. Most interesting concept, and no shoes.

photokyle.bsky.social•7 days ago

Beautiful
