They also wanted landscape and portrait framed poses, legs far out is a landscape pose.
The shot of the girl with her hair flying is a great photo, won't sell in a men's magazine.
Also cropping out the girls fingers and hand is a beginners mistake. And the dangling navel jewelery?????
Not flaming or criticising you, you need to learn more about photography and porn before commenting on those subjects.
You can't see what I do, then fine. Doesn't mean I don't do it. Here's a hint. Look at the video I shot for Manwin and the ones I shot 20 years ago. You see the same type of communication from the model to the viewer. It was my skill to get that from a girl who had done yours of work or none. And could get the same tease on stills.
As for the shots. A &b were shot by Katka our studio manager, make up girl and shooter, C, D & E were shot by me and not my style. More glam and thoughtful than my style. The two styles are clear to see in the posing.

Are these considered to be landscape?
This one is like a 2x1 landscape.
Would it not be possible for someone to stroke one out to this gallery?

Here's a shot from Richard Avery

Here's the MetArt photographer page for the guy who you assumed was a beginner.

Out of what must be close to 1000 or so of the photographers listed on the nude, he's consistently voted as one of the top 10. See here along with the Ps.
Moving away from 'erotic photography' and 'glamour', take a look at shots from sets from
Spiz Cash.
Is the stuff they do at Spiz always technically sound? No. But the technical stuff will come in time. Creativity and vision cannot be taught.
The reason you nitpick about little errors made by a photographer with 500+ galleries on MetArt is because those are errors you personally cannot make because you lack the vision to compensate for them.
Claiming that Hegre is a guy who shoots stills like a film strip tells us that you've either seen a lot of his other work and have no clue as to what you're talking about or that you're making a broad assessment based upon one gallery, an act that which almost always leads to wrongness.
I want you to prove me wrong here because when it comes to things like critiquing photography, something of which I am still largely a novice, the act of learning something new is a byproduct of being wrong, and I want to learn as much as possible.
When was the last time you acknowledged that you were wrong about something? Back in 82'? All that means is that you haven't learned anything since back in 82'.
I'd like to learn something from these posts, but I'm not really feeling it from you right now.
Anyway, where can i see your Manwin scene? I'm curious
