What does that have to do with it??

About as much as your comment I guess... It's another example of free speech.

The mature models and their cool, comfortable sense of humor give this series a lot of energy! And the models great ... they project as real women. Most of the posts in this section are interesting images; yours say you are an interesting guy. Fun ... thanks

I think I'd like them even more if the lighting were softened just a bit, and maybe with a second flash camera-right.

Do these two old timers make out with each other for real? If so PM me I may have a well paid gig for them.

As you are entitled to what type of woman you prefer, just remember there are women on here who read the comments. I am not your wife's body type, I fall into that "95%" category, and some of these comments are not necessary. Putting down a women because she is not on the voluptuous side isn't right

Wendy, this is a left field comment if I have ever read one. I was referring to other's prejudice against larger women, not putting down any other body type. One of these women is my wife the other is a very good friend. Me commenting positively about the more voluptuous models is not saying anything negative about less voluptuous women.

I challenge you to read back my statements and find anything negative that I've said about less voluptuous women.

What a lifestyle you two have!

Here it is. And putting LOL after it doesn't make it less negative.

Wendy,

Look at the original photo please and look where the nipples of the lady on the right are in the frame. She has massive breasts that hang against her stomach when she does not have a bra on. It's OK though, because she's attractive, still likes to get in front of the camera, and she's upbeat about her boobs. My wife and I both enjoy working with her. At some point she hopes to have a breast reduction because they really make her life uncomfortable. In some of the first comments one person comment that her right elbow looked like a third breast. The breasts of most women in this pose would be hidden behind their left arm. Now how in the heck is my statement triggering you? I'm not saying that the other 95% (in reality probably 99%) are not worthy of being photographed. The elbow looked like a third breast because the other two were visible and on most women they would not be.

Here is another photo that shows you how she's built.

I have done many many nudes (and due to contractual obligations had to remove them from UHH) so I guess my criticism is founded on shooting many in studio. Before I go there, did these two women feel that they looked exceptionally beautiful? Or was this feeding a kinky streak that had nothing to do with artistic imagery? Because neither in my eyes looks "beautiful in their own skin".

I think that they are well exposed but there's no connection to the viewer, nor much to each other, other than some hands on breasts. Big women want to feel attractive too, and I would bet the super saturated yellow and red, purple lingerie won't have the same appeal as say "bedroom" white linen, artfully posed body to lengthen and streamline a bit. Lighting should lighlight the positive, and hide the negative in shadow.

If this was a simple cheesecake, pin up style, I'd say it could work with better posing, and one at a time. And as to the commentary about not looking "staged"; well if you aren't staging your models, you aren't doing your job. They don't know what to do or how shooting into their arms makes their arms look much heavier, etc. That's our job.

I think you have missed the earlier commentary about this and the posts as background to this shot? It's all explained in there? It all makes sense to me.

I did, and I over pontificated. The spirit in which this is intended and the ladies overall are just fantastic. Once I got my blood sugar back on track, I realize I have exceeded rational limits.
