It looks like jimmycopper posted some excellent examples.



For what market?

Comparing us to Hegre is like comparing oranges with bananas because they sell in the same shop. In truth Hegre and I sold a lot in different shops. They would never sell that content to a men's magazine. Editors were looking for shooters who could get those 18 shots down to 3 and get each one right. Not a guy who shoots stills like a film strip.

They also wanted landscape and portrait framed poses, legs far out is a landscape pose.

The shot of the girl with her hair flying is a great photo, won't sell in a men's magazine.

Also cropping out the girls fingers and hand is a beginners mistake. And the dangling navel jewelery?????

Not flaming or criticising you, you need to learn more about photography and porn before commenting on those subjects.

You can't see what I do, then fine. Doesn't mean I don't do it. Here's a hint. Look at the video I shot for Manwin and the ones I shot 20 years ago. You see the same type of communication from the model to the viewer. It was my skill to get that from a girl who had done yours of work or none. And could get the same tease on stills.

As for the shots. A &b were shot by Katka our studio manager, make up girl and shooter, C, D & E were shot by me and not my style. More glam and thoughtful than my style. The two styles are clear to see in the posing.
