Hey there,

We are a club dedicated to promoting respect to women and artists alike. Too many accounts are created on DA solely for the purpose of ing nude and fetish artwork for nothing more than to stare at. We work hard for our art and believe it's worth equal treatment and appreciation. We would love to have you join our army and promote respect for artists.

Looks like i've come full circle. I came to your page from boom's referall and remembered your black/white cow-girl shot. You've been busy since! Love your gothic submissions. Your portraiture is clean. keep up the great work!

You have a d30 too! which IS lens did you get?

shwank In reply to roleychiu [2003-12-12 00:13:44 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Roley....

I've been watching you for a while. I hope to bring some of your "looks" into some of my photos. Yep I shoot with a D30. I have the 50mm F1.4 lens, the 28-135 USM IS and the 75-300 USM IS. Great lenses. I also shoot with a sigma 50mm macro that is absolutely incredible for the price.

I too shoot with Photoflex equip. I have a starlite, but it's been on the shelf for way too long. Coming out to play this weekend, cause I have 2 shoots scheduled. Most of the time I use my speedotron flash pack and heads. Got a great deal from a photographer friend... and the blackline's reputation as the industry workhorse is well deserved.

Any advice on how you get such "porcelain" skin. I have been a long time fan of some of the glamour photography that comes from overseas. Cute asian girls posing with cars... that sort of thing. I love the soft focus look, but have never been able to achieve the exact look. I've tried filters, photoshop...I'm at a loss. A bunch of your photos achieve the look I want. So any advice on how you get there would be great.

Thanks for the help in advance.

- Dave

Hey there,

That is awesome!! Your help would be a great benefit for this community, with your experience and the quality of your work. I'm all excited

We have done some templates for articles and tutorials matching the theme of photo-class so basically all we would need is your text and graphics and permission to use them of course

Your two suggestions sound really great and could go right away in our TOC in the section for photoshop techniques.

Thank yo so much!
