About half a year ago I got pretty bored with cars so I ventured into fashion photography. I've always hated taking pictures of people so I knew this would be the perfect challenge. So 6 months later here I am today. I do fashion shoots quite often so I decided to just make thread where I can dump everything into. Enjoy the pictures!

These shots were taken on Judd Trail in Nu'uanu, Oahu (Hawaii).

You have great skills.

Regarding the girl- She doesn't look THAT great OEM - She looks worse modded

With this fashion stuff its almost a requirement to have crazy make up and hair. I usually don't like to go overboard with make up (unless the girl is really THAT bad lol) so I had the make up artist do really dramatic eyes but leave everything else pretty subtle. She has a lot of natural beauty but I wanted to keep away from making her look overly sexy like here. Plus she wanted some fashion work for her portfolio.

lol guess she can't please everyone. But I wanted to keep everything Hawaii based. The clothes all came from a hawaii boutique, I assembled an entire team comprising of people from hawaii, the model was mixed (white, asian, native american, hawaiian) so she provided that exotic out of the ordinary look.

Maybe the other model I was going to shoot is more your cup of tea? But if you look closely shes missing an arm. And I thought that'd lead to some complications.

She did have a pretty killer Halloween costume this year though :biggrin:

Very nice pictures, very pretty girl. It wouldn't hurt her to put on 10 or 20 pounds though.

Dude this is a photoshoot guys.....:rolleyes: usually photoshoots the make up is more dramatic for the photos and this is actually pretty light compared to other photoshoots.....harsh critics here sheesh.....good job man keep up the good work.

I don't think I was being harsh. I just said she had too much makeup (for my tastes). The pictures themselves are stunning.

Bob- wasnt referring to you......but I know what you mean.....but this is a photoshoot hence the dramatic make up.

To each their own though, most women need make up....its does wonders for them....I have seen some before and after shots of some and they look completely different.....as in without make up I would be like no way.....:eek:
 
Did you get a date out of this?
 
I'm leaving for Hawaii this Saturday. Tell her not to go anywhere. :tongue:

Well, I hope I'm going. Leaving out of BWI and we've had a bit of snow the past few days.

I don't date models for a very good reason. . . they have a couple screws loose. :redface:

We have girls here that put her to shame!!:cool:

There are much prettier women on this Island:eek:

Really? Show me some? I had a scout looking for models for a good two months before we came across her. I'm not going to lie, it was pretty tough. The fast majority of women in hawaii are extremely short and don't have the bone structure to pull off a high fashion shoot.
