Samantha,
I was in the U.S. Navy as a photographer for 6.5 years. I enjoyed photography in the military, but I always wanted to shoot the kind of work that I was seeing in W and Vogue. So, I got out of the military, came to New York, and just started shooting. It's difficult in the beginning to get good models to shoot because you haven't proven yourself, but that gets easier with time and experience. Networking...meeting makeup artists, hair stylists, and wardrobe stylists is key to getting yourself started. Build a good team and your work will show drastic improvement.
I wish you much success in your own photography goals. You've got a nice self-portrait series going there. Who needs models, when you've got yourself.  I'll look forward to seeing your new work.

Leona,
Thank you. To date I've always done my own photoshop work. I like having total control over the final product. I would however turn it over to someone else if I thought I couldn't handle something.
I'm learning to convert to CMYK before I send my work out, as I've had problems where the magazine didn't convert it and the colors were off.

She's gorgeous, but the shot would be better without the ear ring.

Incredible capture Pedro. I love all of the little details in the water and the other boats. I'm wondering what the old man in the boat is doing. What is he looking at?

Patrick,
You're not known for your commercial work, I'm guessing that's why no response yet.
This is a great commercial image that I'm sure the client will like, although I'd rather see it with the background completely white.

Q, I really appreciate your comment, Thanks.
Sony,
I'll give you a little insight into the making of this photograph. It's my little friend gravity. If you can save this image on your computer, open it in photoshop and rotate the image clockwise(90 degrees). That's the way she looked when I photographed her. She was sitting in a chair, leaning back, so I positioned the hair around her neck to the place it is and gravity did the rest. It was not a comfortable position for the model to keep, so I only took two shots. This was one of them. Happy shooting.
Best,
James

Sony,
Thank you. The smoothness of her face is some careful post-production work in photoshop. Of course, most women don't have perfect complections, though some are close. I still need to remove any blemishes so that it's a cleaner beauty shot. Most beauty work is worked on in photoshop a little. In the hi-res version of this shot, you can see the pores. I make sure that you can still see the pores, because when it's printed, it would look fake.

Robbie,
Put together a great team of hair and makeup artists, wardrobe stylists, and start testing with good agency models. Then, send your book out to the magazines when your work has come along far enough. Network, network, network...you can never know too many people...best of luck.

Thanks, Petros. I think it has to do with really liking the subject matter that I'm shooting and working with such great talent. Makeup was done by Dyana Aives www.dyanaaives.com . The model is Celina from Wilhelmina Model Management.
