AWWW Buddy!

How the heck are ya?

So sweet what you said!! Thank you.

But really her images are FLAWLESS. The photography and lighting are so well done , that the retouching is very small fixes that make everything look near flawless.

She is without a doubt, if not, the BEST image photographer I have ever worked with and her eye for detail is INCREDIBLE. This is just the first of a set of promotional photos we did. Will post the rest when they are all done.

Thanks again Buddy- you are a sweetie!

I agree she's an extremely talented photographer but to produce stunning work like this you must have a breathtaking beauty for a subject and you most certainly qualify in that aspect Allanah! A world class photographer creating images of a world class beauty if I ever saw it. Little wonder the result is so spectacular

I'm glad that you understand the impact that a good photographer can make. I reached out to a few girls to shoot them for little to almost nothing. I'm not on Mya's level (YET!!!!) but I can shoot 100 times better than the shots a lot of girls have on thier websites.

Especially video. I talked to a frind about shooting her for her website and she wanted me to do it for free. Mind you, I am a working pro and I shoot in true HD. editing and all. I just wanted $10o bucks for all the time it would take to get a good edit mostly.

What you put into your site, your business shows.

Professionalism.

RESPECT

Is everyone looking at the same photo as I am or what? :shock: Maybe I caught you folks in a "Let's Worship Allanah" moment.

Where's Captain Obvious when you need him?

AllanahStarrNYC
03-10-2006, 05:26 PM
lol @'you look like an alien and lol @ 'are we all looking at the same photo?' CAPTAIN OBVIOUS comment.

NOW THIS IS THE OBVIOUS-

obviously i posted this picture on here to show the appreciation i have for the artistry of it. though the response i have gotten has been EXTREMLEY positive over all and on this and other sites, there will be haters and detracters on there who will be spiteful for no apparent reason. and that is just fine.

since i am really leading my through with positivity this year-it's a shame that those detractors will want me to feed off their negative energy and comments, or want me to defend myself and become aggressive.

as was not looking for constructive criticsm, a slew of compliments, or meager insults when i posted this picture- i was just very pleased to show it. the compliments have been really swell and the rest well, c'est la vie. you can't please everyone and nor is it my plan to.

AND why would i need to defend myself? i am confident and content wit the image i present.

great if you liked it and if you didn't- well that is great too. but please- before you try to be negatively or judmental TOWARDS ANYONE remember to take a good long look in the mirror and really think about how you feel or like yourself- evidently not very much if you have to put someone or something down. let's see you try to do better then give me a call.

love ya all.

ps. and here is is for a second time JUST BECAUSE I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

The blue contacts seem not to fit the overall color scheme. A hazel colored contact may have been better in my opinion. Otherwise, the photo is rather mesmerizing. I love your African (sic) lips!

AllanahStarrNYC
03-10-2006, 06:49 PM
we were actually rather shocked how blue the blue looked with the flash
but really like it, because it just looks shocking
my real eye color is actually green/hazel- depending on the day

but they always look dark or brown in photos

hence why i use enhancers for photos

;)

glad u like my lips

Why use the brown bar on Myspace? You could have just done away with the nipples all together. Gives it more of an intreguing look while keeping 100% of the sexyness.

I edited out the belly button, too. I don't know why... I just thought it'd be funny.

GrimFusion, that just doesn't look right without nipples or a belly button.

Allanah, I think that picture looks great. Have any more from that shoot?

I thought the pic looked really strange without nipples and a belly button, too. I couldn't stop looking at it for like five minutes.

The eyes do look EXTRA blue but that is what makes the shot that much hotter. It gives it a real serious impact.

A shot like that is not meant to look natural.

In that kind of shot you want everything perfect, almost too perfect (and that it is).

It is supposed to jump off the print/screen/print and slap you in the face.

I even liked the nipple-lesss shot, it gave it a David LaChapelle feel to it. That guy is my hero. The Baby Phat, Kimora Lee Simmons ads KILL me with every new spread.

hey grim- can i get the shot of me at regular size with no nipples but belly button please? lol

thank so much for the wall paper- i am gonna do a whole bunch of them when i have all the edits

bigguy- yes there are a whole bunch fromt he shoot, i am just waiting to get them back, i will post them when i have them

happy, trogdor, and deep thanks for being so sweet!

range- i adore david lachapelle
and you are so right of the point of this shot- it is supposed to look over the top, eye popping, colorful, almost pop in a way.
i am SO glad you understand the concept of the shot, and appreciate the detailed work, styling, and editing

i have met david several times through amanda- he is really cool and down to earth

have u seen the tv land commercials with pamela anderson and barbara eden- genuis!

AllanahStarrNYC
03-11-2006, 02:44 AM
i just did a quick search on the poster who said i looked like an alien and the other one

well- read all of the first one's posts- and laugh at your own risk :shock:

and i quote-


Sorry to burst your bubble damion. At the end of the day transexuals are men, no matter how hard they try. The fact that you brag about all this stuff you do for them is just you admitting you enjoy being their subordinate. If he is a closet homosexual, you are a raving faggot.

nice to see we have such evolved, open minded individuals who approach transsexualism with such clarity and understanding on this board :shock:

I think the concept here is fantastic! The composition/subject matter needs no qualifications......however, I did find the specular highlights coming off the background a tad too distracting, so I tweaked it a bit....hope no one is offended.

GrimFusion

Very good Grim. That's a professional job.

Thanks. I just used the patch healing tool, created a new later with feathered white circles to naturalize the highlights on her tits and to correct the imperfections the patch healing tool created, and reduced layer transparency.

Pretty basic stuff, really.

You should have masked out her figure first, so that your brightness/contrast tweaking didn't effect the whole picture. The background lacks a sense of crispness now, and you mudded out her whole body.

It doesn't look BAD, per se, as it gets the job done and all. Most people wouldn't notice the difference. I just don't think the alteration was all that necessary, though.

For the record, I did a mask out on the body, with an adjustment layer to replace the highlights with a color picked from the background, I didn't use the brightness/contrast tool at all.

Your right that the average person might not notice the hot background, but as a photographer, my eye picked it up right away.......Just a matter of personal preference for me.

Thank you Allanah, and thank you for showcasing a little of Maya Guez"s work. I went straight to her website, and her work is tremendous!!! In particular I love her B+W's ...Just stunning, not to mention Maya herself! A real beauty! Great choice on your part to have her do a shoot with you.

No, I gotta look out for those.

David is someone I idolize. No one moved me like that since Herb Ritts (RIP) back in the 80s. I'm giving myself 5 years to get to where I wanna be behind the lens.

Where's Captain Obvious when you need him?
I don't know, but my post disappeared. Why? I said it was a very nice photo and that Maya has tremendous talent (or something very close to that), but that the lighting was a bit too harsh and in places a tad overworked (or, again, very close to that). Very strange.

You do look great in that photo, Allanah. But I prefer a more natural look, lighter on the retouching and easier on the lighting.
