Sorry, At present I don't recall a discussion about 'contra natural look'
"On all the pictures in these sets (and the previous ones), the girls looks directly into the camera,....."
There is nothing particularly wrong with models making eye contact with the camera. It's sometimes hard to show our work based on the few sample images you get to judge them by, but in general, we encourage eye contact in some images and in others, the model maybe looking in another direction, as part of their pose.
"..... and at the picture of the girl at the beach on UMD, she even have to twist her head around to do it. Why doesn't she enjoy the sunset instead?"
For the purpose of the photo, we wanted the model in front of the sunset because she is the subject of the image and the sunset was merely the background. As beautiful as our backgrounds are, we place the emphasis of our photos on the models. While we sometimes capture images of models enjoying the sunset, as the subject of the image, we do not allow the backgrounds to overshadow the beauty of the model.
"And why have you slanted the camera? Slanted pictures looks absolutely silly. When you shoot the picture, the brain still regards the picture as being upright no matter how much you slant the camera, but this is not the case when the pictures are shown."
I do not agree concerning slanted photos. The eye is attracted to the unusual or to unusual elements. Our brains can discern any image regardless of it's orientation to our normal perspective, but it's that orientation, such as slanting an image which conveys a dynamic element to the image and captures the eye. After that it's merely a matter of personal preference. Personally I like to mix it up and throw in something that is different from the other images within the set. I happen to like the diagonal line drawn by a slanted horizon and the waves on the beach.

By MaK - Wed 25/03/09 08:47:24 GMT The middle picture with the girl in the white dress at the beach is very nice, but do you remember our discussion about posing contra natural look? You said that you do both, but I don't see it. On all the pictures in these sets (and the previous ones), the girls looks directly into the camera, and at the picture of the girl at the beach on UMD, she even have to twist her head around to do it. Why doesn't she enjoy the sunset instead? And why have you slanted the camera? Slanted pictures looks absolutely silly. When you shoot the picture, the brain still regards the picture as being upright no matter how much you slant the camera, but this is not the case when the pictures are shown. This picture could have been an excellent picture telling a storry about a beautiful girl enjoying the water and the sunset. Now it didn't even find the eye of the needle to my harddisk - in spite of the excellent lighting, which you really master. |
