the whole idea is to show it looks dirty? I missed that then if it is the story then yes pick the one that looks dirty with the dirty smoke coming out of the mouth.

I find both men and women smoking to be dirty. they smell dirty, they look dirty. Look at old people smoking..they look dirty. At least that'S how I see them.
there is nothing sexy about smoking. it's disgusting and dirty.
My ex was smoking and I could not kiss him. I could not get anywhere near him when he had just smoked. He had to quick smoking for one day before I could kiss him without puking.

yuck..someone did that?
--Disgusting is disgusting... if that's your reaction to the photo,
I'm not going to blame someone for letting that cloud their opinion
of the photos... that IS the opinion of the photos.
And I agree with them.
--For my next photo class assignment, I have to submit "3 b&w photos
that tell a story about someone you know." I took these photos, but
I can't decide on the final 3. Can someone help me pick 3? They
have to be collectively coherent, more or less.
The quality isn't fantastic, as they are second-generation jpegs (I
have the original jpegs). All were shot with the 300D and Tamron
28-75mm at f2.8 or f3.5 and then converted to black&white or
black&white w/tint tones (thank you, Johny's B&W photoshop plug-in).
Do they suck, by the way???

Here's two options. Use photos 1 & 2 and then for the third shot, either:
1) find a woman in her thirties who has patchy wrinkled skin and capture her mid-cough, or
2) find an older woman in a hospital dying of lung cancer.
That would certainly tell a story. I can't stand to see young, attractive women smoking because I've seen too many of the same in their thirties when they look like they're 50. Smoking can really destroy your looks at a young age.

Hi Daniella, you said you live in the San Jose area, no? Do you know of a good camera store that rents out Canon L lenses?

1 - The lighting,
2 - The drag,
3 - The exhale.
No sensuality just smoking a butt.

... I'd say that I like the more close-up pictures most. And I'd pick #3 and the last picture as the ones I like.
However, I would think again about the "message" you want to relay. Is smoking good and should be be made into a positive thing? To me the girl is way to beautiful to be smoking and enjoying it. She could eat a fresh strawberry and any picture would be a "wow!" picture. The smoking in the photo's leaves you a with a bit of bad taste.
Sorry, I don't want to pick two, so I picked the less "smoking" pictures of them all. The last photo I like, beside the cig in her hand. Lovely and warm face and laugh.

Hi,
For me it has to be either 2,3,4 or 3,4,5 .
If it was me I would use 3,4,5 as it shows the subject is smoking , yet does not show the cigarette.
I gave it up 4 years ago. No going back for me.

Thanks to all who replied.
Personally, I hate smoking myself. I've never smoked in my life and never plan to. For this photo assignment, I bought cigarettes for the first time in my life ("hi, I'd like to join Marlboro Country please").
The only reason I photographed this subject was: (a) I thought the subject matched my assignment's theme; (b) I like the look of thick cigarette smoke in black&white photos; and (c) I think women who smoke are sexy as all git out.
I suppose I could have photographed this girl eating strawberries or something else, but I wanted a more dramatic and somewhat lascivious look. That girl by the way is a classmate and had not smoked since high school.

I agree, there's no story here.
Now, if you were to take the first and any other photo and add an autopsy photo showing a blackened lung, you would have a very powerful story.
You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me.
