The model is Nadia Ruslanova, you can get to Nadia and contact info by way of Model Mayhem and she is in Florida.

The above helps others to locate the model. Nadia does a lot as a traveling model in the old tradition of the traveling internet model. I think this is helpful to those looking to understand the professional photographic model.

When posting images in the forum my sense is that you are seeking constructive criticism. There are a bunch of 'good job' and 'atta boy' comments. I feel that you might need to clean up on your post manipulation technique. The shadow areas are rather rough. If in the part of the program listed as 'CURVES' you will find that the shadows to mid-tone transition in all the posted images need a more deft handling. The splotching 'gray' of the shadow areas need not look as they are in your posted images, more care is needed in creating the curve as a smooth curve in the lower portion of the 'S' curve.

I'm never sure just what a photographer is looking for when they request criticism. I for one don't much care for technical critiques as they are mostly pointless. In this case I find the transition of the gray tones in the images as not effective for color images, though if converted to a gray scale (B&W) image could be a good first step but you did represent the images as color images.

With all due respect, I think you would be better off looking and learning.

Outstanding photos. The last photo is perhaps one of the purest, beautiful photos and screams of pure exoticness. What I really admire is your photography is pure art. The lighting, models, background are near perfection. I respect you. Thank you for your contributions.

Great Collaboration between Model and Photographer!

My favorite is Nadia6, as I personally like that gentle shadowing, which shows this particular pose (and toned body) off to perfection. She also has the perfect smile in this portrait; it's a demure yet still erotic and faithful representation of a beautiful young woman.

Timmers,

I see you're taking some heat for this critique.

We only have one nudie forum section to play with here so the postings include both people looking for critical input, and those that are just showing off their work. It's not always clear. I think it's safe to assume that Robeng is offering images here because he's proud of his work (righteously so) and wants to show it to us.

I think the majority of viewers here expect to find images in one of two main categories: the artsy, avante garde bodyscape, and the beautiful woman, photographed beautifully. Most of Robeng's images fall resoundingly into the second category, some also fall into the first, and none of them fall far from spectacular.

Personally, I find it hard to critique someone whose work I can not at least match on a good day. The only way I could offer any advice to Robeng would be if I knew for a fact he had not represented his model as he wanted and was asking for help. For that to take place he would have to say, "I was trying to get X and got Y, does anyone have any ideas?"

You on the other hand, are over in Timmer Land experimenting and creating your own brand of art. You have non-traditional erotica by the tail and most people are not going to get your stuff. When I tell you your work is too dark for my taste, you're probably thinking that the exposure is right where you want it. I'm sure it is. You get a lot of criticism because you're doing your own thing and everyone thinks they can help you make your stuff better. Meanwhile, you're probably very happy with your stuff and are just trying to share it with someone.

You're right that a lot of the comments on here are atta-boys. You're not going to change that. Most men can't look at a photo of a beautiful woman and critically analyse it even if you're asking for it. This forum needs more female input.
