Model tests

These are a series of shots I did of 3 models for testing purposes.

For my portfolio I selected the 2nd, 4th and 8th

These are mostly great. I love the posing and the lighting looks nice. However I'm really distracted by the odd things going on with the backgrounds... they look like a lot of uneven post processing was applied to them? Or color gels that didn't go the way they were planned and then you tried to fix? Or burning around the model to make the background darker, which is especially noticeable in the last 3 shots of the girl on the pink background. I can't tell, but it's very noticeable in all of them.

Additionally, the skin tones look wonky... some are over saturated all over, some are over saturated or just the wrong color on certain parts - the girl in 4, 5, 6 and 7 especially. Her face is pink/blue, her upper arm and neck are neutral (although the shadows of her neck look over saturated compared to everything else), and her forearm is yellow. In 7 especially her face looks almost dirty because the tops of her cheekbones have been de-saturated almost to the point of being gray, and the freckles look like spots of dirt.

I hope this doesn't come off as too harsh because you did a nice job and you have great models - just some distracting elements to fix in post or possibly how the backgrounds were lit and you should be good to go. :) Hope this helps!

These are great.
