A black hat makes all the difference.

Resedit346 is not doing the tattle tail! LOL!!!
This is Ms. Crystal, She has been to my studio many times. She and VADA have had 'fun' here many times, (VADA thinks she is HOT!).
Crystal use to live in Austin TX but she went through cancer, almost died and is back, which is grand! She moved to the northern East Coast where she now calls home.
So, she is there with Kat (also a model) and we boys. Resedit346 has used my studio many times, especially with Kat.
After telling her story and tell us about it being so cold on the Eastern sea board I just couldn't help it, I just received the hat in a donation. It is quite old, has a tag identifying the supplier from New York furrier. So, I gave the hat to Crystal, I told her that Ms. VADA had been over and modeled it and that I would tell VADA that it is now on Crystal's head! LOL!!!
So, as is the usual with me, the eyes and teeth are brightened, and all catch lights removed but one (which was also enhanced), part of the boot looked bad in the image so I retouched that as well. Last, there was an area at the torso that needed smoothing. One issue that I stress to photographers is to learn anatomy so that corrections can be made post processing (one of the great advantages of digital over analogue photography). Finally, the make up can be adjusted easily in post, though Crystal is good at make up, she is no MUA (Liz Ashly is dynamite at make up and hair!).
Lastly, Kat and Crystal 'talked' photographers, three were outed and I concurred with all the girls had commented on. One photographer got it between the eyes who was known to me, another was sited for flaking, but I saved his rep by letting him off the hook as basically a scatter brain. In the world of nude women photography don't get a rep as a pervert or a flake. Always pay the model, even if it is not your fault ,it is how reputations are built. Reputation is everything for a photographer and the girls all talk to one another.
As reference, VADA and Jessica in the Cedar Closet; nothing like two models who 'know' and like each other!
