Diana

Here was a quick edit I did for a model named Diana.

I didn't do too much to this photo, just a quick clean up of the background and the lace on the dress.

Potluck Fashion: Ashley

Here's another post featuring Ashley, who I'm still trying to get a hold of for more work!

Project Hosiery: Pretty Polly Italia

The installment for project hosiery is Pretty Polly Italia. This product is another from the UK and is a 10 denier (quite sheer) variety.

Stephanie was a big fan of this product. Comfort, appearance, support, and durability were all rated highly, and she said that they would be a great pair to wear to work. I'm sure the office-themed wardrobe helped!

At $4.25 a pair, these are also quite affordable. Perhaps the only downside is that they're aren't sold in most US stores and are only available online. This was cited by multiple models as a hurdle to purchasing the product, but they also said that it would be worth stocking up on a high quality product in order to get free shipping.

Katie

Here's another photo I did for Katie. Once again, I did a standard retouch and a color isolation.

I imagine a sports bra that just says the name of a rodent might seem weird. But for those of you not familiar with the University of Minnesota, the Gophers is their team name.

There will be plenty more of Katie to come!

Potluck Fashion: Rachel

Rachel's back for another post about Potluck Fashion!

I'd like to note that Rachel has recently been signed with a modeling agency, and she was kind enough to inform me that she had submitted some of the photos I had edited for her when she applied. It's great news for Rachel, but probably not as great of news for me since I won't be working with her as often. Oh well, congrats to her!

I still have more photos from Rachel, so expect to see more of her again.

Project Hosiery: Charnos Elegance

It's been a couple weeks, so I thought I'd share a couple more posts. I've spent the down time trying to recruit some more models, so if you're reading this blog and interested, please contact me at superech15@yahoo.com!

The next installment of Project Hosiery is Charnos Elegance, modeled by Stephanie. Charnos is a British lingerie company that's been around since 1958. This specific product is 10 denier and has a shiny appearance.

Comfort and durability were rated high for this product. This was a fairly light product as it's advertised as a summer clothing item, so support was understandably low.

As far as appearance, Stephanie did comment on the amount of shine coming off of the hosiery. While she personally liked it, she did have to admit that she imagines it makes this product more suitable for formal occasions, whereas a product with a more matte appearance would work better for everyday and/or office wear.

Overall, the product was rated highly, and at about $10 a pair they're a bargain for the quality.
