Thread: The Rest of the Photo shoot.......

WOW! They are finally here and there are so many to choose from, I am going to redo buinsess cards, and the website. Which ones do you like, and which ones dont you like? be honest please!!!!















MORE TO COME..........

EVEN MORE TO COME............

Last Set!!!!!

you look stunning! I love your hair too!

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! I am soo happy with them!

You are beautiful. I like the ones when you have a little smile on your face. I think these are great photos. Your photog was spot on and your costumes are stunning. I would like to see you smile though. I bet you have a beautiful smile.

The one with the green bella and the veil is my fave...well there are a couple of those, but the first one you posted.

Holy crap!!! YOU LOOK STUNNING!!!

They are all superb, but my favs are the second one (rust), the two veil shots, and the one in the green/peacock costume where you are looking down and to the side, and your hair is falling in a wave.

i agree! your photos came out great. you have some that will be great for a portfolio, a bio or promo photo for a staged show, and your cards, too.

from a layout/design/interest point of view, i'd say that the ones with the veil not only a. show you "in motion" but also b. show off the costume nicely and c. show off your pretty smile :) most importantly, i think that these do an excellent job of presenting nice lines and layout. my favorites are the second veil shot, the third veil shot, the first bella veil shot, and the purple bella. whatever you choose, they'll be awesome!

Veils!Veils!Veils!
I like them best:)
And I would like to have your hair also...

First of all, your hair is to die for!!!

Okay here are my favorites not necessarily in order:

3rd one down, where your veil is like wings (nice smile)
Green veil over head (head shot)
Green costume, hair, waving down, you're in profile, hands on your belt
Sword on head, full shot
Veil swirling, hair cascading across veil (hair is more on the left of the screen)


Beautiful shots. Did you do your own make up? It looks good.

Whoa, you are gorgeous in ALL of them! You don't have an easy choice if you have to pick just one for a card, but my fav is the first veil shot.

Yes, the hair is amazing!! Somewhere between titian and ginger.

My favorite is the first veil shot, with the green veil like wings, because it has the best facial expression and your body looks great too.

WOW! I Thought the green with the veil/wings was horrible since i didnt have a neck. I also didnt smile much becuse I think i look fake so I was going for the sultry look.........I think the green with the veil is going to be my new home page picture, and then the purple for a buisness card.......I still havent decided yet though

Holy crap. You’re gorgeous! You absolutely, positively have the most beautiful hair I have ever seen in my life.

My favorite shots – from the first post: second closeup headshot, special effect headshot (that one is so nice!), green bella with veil (WOW, could you have a costume more suited to your figure and coloring??? Delicious!). from the second post: green bella with your hair in waves (I could see that one cropped close, top of the head to bottom of hair. Your hands are doing something weird so I’d want to lose those but the hair – omg the HAIR – and your pretty skin and that COSTUME). From the fourth post: green sim with veil. I can see that one as a business card, as is, with your name up in the left corner. God, the colors!

The black costume ones don’t compel me for some reason. The blue abla (?) is stunning on you but I’m not loving the light background. The copper (FAB color on you!!) and the dark blue bella are lovely costumes but the green bella and sim are such knockouts that it’s hard for anything else to compare. :)

Soooo beautiful....
The first and last veil shots, the one where you look at your hip, the bronze costume and the artsy face shot. They are particularly lovely, I think.
Don't forget you can crop some of the others and just have a 'bit' of you.

I much prefer the smilies, or the hint of a smile. Personally, I think those are more sultry than the other expressions. The last veil picture is absolutely gorgeous.

And I also want your hair. Seething jealousy over here.

My fav is second from the last.

wow! GORGEOUS! I love the second to last one...the color are breathtaking and you look so commanding. Any and ALL of them are wonderful. I also love that you embrace your freckles. They, as you know, are beautiful. I hate the makeup "mask" with the freckled shoulder look. Your blend beautifully and enhance your coloring. Great job on the shoot!

Very pretty! I think I like that contemplative of you in the green Bella the best, the one where you're looking at your hip.

wow! wow ! wow!
amzing pictures.
I loooove the pictures with the veil
and the one in the green bella looking at your hip , your hair is just amazing !
I want hair like that , I am jealous .

Holy moly woman can I just have your hair!? Gosh it must be wonderful to have hair like that--I'm so jealous!
Back to topic, my favorites were extremely difficult to choose (that is an amazing photo shoot you had) but I've somehow narrowed it down.
set 1-photo #6 great lighting, great contrast, great pose, and a nice soft expression
set 2-photo #3 I like the light, the pose, this would be my choice for the business card because the lettering will show up great against the dark background
set 3-I wasn't to fond of any of those, sorry!
set 4-photos # 3 My favorite was the purple costume photo in the last set. I love; the lighting, how your skirt fades into the darkness, how the light catches on the sequins, and your pose. However it does not show off that gorgeous head of hair you've got.
I also like the veil photo right below that, the colors are so vivid and clear.
As for criticism, weeeeellllll, maybe you could smile more! You look so serious..w.: Please don't run your sword though my eye for saying that. ****running for safety****

you have some great photos!

can i offer a small bit of suggestion?

i find that in belly dance photos sometimes we want to seem "sultry" so we don't smile and really fix our eyes on the camera...most of the time we end up looking bored, grumpy, or pissed off.

i have a whole bunch of photos like this until i realized that by lifting my eyebrows or opening my mouth a bit or positioning my head a certain way would give the sultry impression but would actually translate in the photo. think tyra banks "smile with your eyes" thing

not trying to bring you down my dear, just some helpful hints for the future.

i love the photos where your mouth is open a bit hinting at a smile and especially the purple bella where your looking to the side. the veil photos are also very nice. you look relaxed in these photos where the other ones you're a bit stiff or a bit uncertain.

Gorgeous photos-I am ENVIOUS of your hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My favorite one is of you in the Green Bella and it looks like you are adjusting the belt. Love all the veil ones as well:)

you've absolutely got to use the copper one with your hand behind your head.....the veil shots are all fantastic (they literally reach out and grab the viewer), and the full-length black costume with the sword is just regal. Fantastic!

1. Green Bella with wavy hair, you looking down picture
2. picture above wavy hair
3. Last set #1
4. Last set #3
5. Last set #4

The only suggestion I have is to also smile or leave the mouth open just a tad and not look directly at the camera so much. Over all Annwyn, I like them.

Wow these are beautiful. You have gorgeous hair and gorgeous skin! Do you take any special supplements/vitamins?

Love the veil shots too.

BTW, I really like your makeup as well. Great blush and great eyes!

Beautiful photos. And I agree your hair is to die for.
