Depends what kind of women you like I guess.

Really can't help you there I'm affraid, I think ultimately it comes down the the individual and how they wish to label things. To me they're just nice pictures and the model happens to be naked, to someone else they might be the most horrendous blasphemous pornographic images they have ever seen, the next person might see them entirely differently again, and on and on...

...we all see things differently and thats partly what makes the world so interesting and diverse. oh and I don't think there is anything wrong in you being aware that she's naked at all or that that might turn you on, thats a perfectly natural human reaction if you ask me ;)

Hey thanks! that one is one of my fav's too. No tilt shift, just a bit of selective blurring in photoshop ;)

To be honest I wasn't really expecting a reaction at all! lol I just do what I do because I like doing it, simple as that ;)

I can totally appreciate where you're coming from with the 'naked' thing, for me its a little different, probably because I'm so close to the work, I barely register that the model is naked at all. When I look at these photo's I tend to just see all the technical stuff ~ what did I do right/what could I do better, that sort of thing.

I'm sure its probably the same for you if you record a song, you will hear it and listen to it in a completely different way to anyone else and in a lot of ways it can be hard to have an objective opinion of your own work.

Would be interesting to hear other people thoughts on this though...

...just out of interest also, do you find this when you look at any picture featuring a naked body? what about old paintings of nudes?

Lots of people seem interested in the post production on these shots so I've done a follow up post with before and after shots, which do you prefer?

Wow, thankyou! I've learnt so much from other people doing video's like this, it's nice to at least try to give something back.

I think I might do a blog post with before and after shots ;)

I used lightroom to set the basic colour and balance for the pictures, as soon as you start adding layers though they will effect either or both of these things, which can be quite a fun process ;)

I couldn't agree more! {workin on it!} ;)

Thanks for the comments guys, its really interesting to hear other peoples points of view and opinions on my work..

I've been using texture layers and creative edits for quite sometime now, simply because I like the look. Its not to everyones tastes obviously, but then few things really are.

Actually a lot of these shots had very little post processing done, I added a few texture layers to some of the images but most of what you see was done in camera. ;)

Thanks for your feedback, I'll bear the sound levels in mind for future video's.
