Like pretty much any technique or effect there is a time and a place for it.  Carpet-bombing your portfolio with these variations on a theme dilutes any impact you might have been intending.

Sadly, this particular style disguises more than it reveals and the technique becomes the focus rather than the model or the skill of the photographer.  They may work better on a digital image site than a portfolio hosting site.

If you pay your models then it's not a problem but if you use TFxx as a method of payment, it is difficult to see where a model would find benefit in working with you to receive these sorts of images.

Thanks for the comments.When I took this project on, my intention was to make it about the technique,At first glance it could be mistaken for bodypaint ( until you see the shadows, or the same pose over and over again).Therefore this was something different. The models are all TF people, and most of them arnt even models, there's a few ladies from tescos in there, and boyfriends of models.What does it show off on the models side? It show that they are open minded enough to go outside of their comfort zone and partake in something a little unusual, I guess this project does fall into the art category rather than a portfolio. And maybe this is not the place to display from a models perspective.However as a photographer, this does demonstrate that I can do something a little different ( and at this time I might even say original, although I know it's not). I like the point on carpet bombing, my intention was to hit the pages with the best of over 200 different images, I figured that if I posted one or two, someone else could easily copy it and repost claiming the fame. At least with the amount I've posted, it shows that many models were used over a period of timeMay I thank you once again, for taking the time to send feedback, it's always a little disheartening when you see te forums move, and yet no feedback, on what is essentially a different approach to lighting.

Just seen this.

Love the image posted, very cool psychadelic effect. Reminds me of the classic Bond film opening sequences of the silhouette bodies etc.
