No offense, but your photographer really needs to invest in either a better camera or in actual lights.
IMGP3727.jpg could have been so much better with a nicer light source (rather than daylight), and it would have immensely improved the way the light falls over the collarbones, and helped better define the stomach.
I would have liked IMGP3664.jpg a lot more if some part of you actually broke the plane of the top of the bed, rather than being juxtaposed with the blankness of the wall, but otherwise, it's very nice.
The middle-bondage creating the violin shape picture (3801, maybe?) was really nice with the created curve and the tautness played off the soft, though I'd put it on a harder, less-textured surface than your carpet. I suppose there isn't much choice though.
I agree, the trunk/keyhole one does a lot for me conceptually and in visual interest, keeping the eye moving(other than the imbalance of the wall on the upper right but nothing on the upper left), but the light quality, and in this case, color quality/tweaking really suck for me.
....I also enjoyed the picture where you showed your teeth. But that's just because I've never seen a picture where you had teeth.
Wait, was I allowed to critique these pictures? If not, throw this comment out, post-haste. Overall, the series was very imaginative.
These were a couple of my favourite, untweaked, of about 200 raw ones. The photographer hasn't gone through and tweaked them yet, nor is he necessarily going to tweak them for 'photorealism'. So, the finished ones will most likely be very different, both different ones in the series, cropped differently, light-tweaked, and probably weirdly tweaked in ways I don't quite understand.
