Title: Real or render?
Post by: madelaide on July 19, 2011, 16:29
is that lady holding a pony tail in IS's main page real or a 3D render? She looks like plastic!  ???

I've only seen it fleetingly before logging in, but it certainly looked like a render to me.

If you're crazy about balerinas ;) . Because there's nothing else to see (if we're talking about photos)

It's a photo.

3D artist's that deliver that kind of work are not uploading to iStock.

They get hired for work like in Avatar and the like...

it may not scream stock, and I don't know that user at all...but her photography (composition/lighting) is gorgeous. and she shoots a lot of haute couture and other work too. I personally find it very beautiful and technically stunning.

exactly.. I would love to have a portfolio like that, inspirational stuff, everything is on the right place, the model expression, the compo, the colors, everything works smoothly, might no be stocky but sure it is a different and beautiful portfolio, real artist

Indeed, I just wanted to point it out that it's super niched ;) . And if you're aren't into ballerinas (like myself) or really like that exact style of photography you can't find it absolutely stunning. Although it is very well executed, of course. A bit too similar for my taste (locations, poses, lighting), a bit more variety would make it even better IMO. Or if she shot a broader spectrum of subjects. Or even both :) . But we can all just congratulate her for being featured so many times, I'd sure like to be featured just once, for starters. It would be a great achievement, especially since I'm non-exclusive.

Wow - I'm amazed that's a photo.  I just saw it in the context of the portfolio, and see now why it doesn't look quite real.   You can always rely on a dancer to look well-sculpted.  ;)

I still think she looks like plastic.  The skinny "barbie" body adds to it.

to each his own -- when I saw this series, I thought it was (and still is) very striking. the poses and look reminded me of James Bond girls...

And as nice as it is and the rest of the series. One download? Talk about niche market. :)
