thanks for an opinion, GnipGnop. I admitt not all the pictures may look proper or professionally lit. that's the idea. often using the available light only and keep the model recognizable but a bit retouched. just to the degree she knows she's being retouched but cannot tell for sure is it just a skin or some more. I mean today it's not a big deal to get the studio strobes, professional make up etc. and get the descent but containing totally no personality pics. it's like every girl these days wants these louis vuitton shit and vogue-looking(kinda) photographs for fecebook. all i do - just try to shoot something different and keep the personality. but, at the same time, make the pictures to look professional. professional doesn't necessarily mean misterious face expression and tons of fancy stuff. and yes - i shoot mostly non-professional models. just the ladies you meet everyday in your life. i see some challenge in it. and that's what drives me about photography.
i'm not saying i'm always satisfied with the results i get. just sharing my attempts,-) and thanks again for an opinion
