Thanks for the feedback, this was an assignment for a photo class and we had a lot of fun shooting it. This was my teachers pic, personally I like the black & white. Next time I'll follow my instincts!
Now this is very creative, I love the 50s advertising feel. Great model, pose expression and prop. My thoughts on improving this would be a) be more selective with your background features, in this case I think if you just had the cupboards and to the right and less of the window/ sink it'd be a bit tidier. b) Slightly sharper focus on the model's face, c) the lighting is not quite there, it seems slightly too harsh and the colour balance is a bit cold.
I think my wife would actually be happy if I gave her one of these. She's hinted at it told me clearly multiple times. I must however, be the only man in existence who gave his wife a hard disk drive for Christmas and she actually liked it.
All she needs is some fishnets and high heels and youve done a great job of sitting the whole woman's movement back 30 yrs. You pulled it off with the hairdo and pearls though. Unfortunately.
first off I love this shot...and to make it even better...(IMO) don't have the model leaning away from the mixer...she should be in love with that mixer - lean towards it. superb job
