    I think the lighting is really good. The only gripe, which is a small one, is that her arm leaves some doubt as to the true owner. Is it hers? A fake arm? Cropped in too close perhaps?

    Hmmm, didn't even notice that until you mentioned it. It is her arm. Laughing.gif

    PG13 warning on that gallery link!!! :Deek7.gif

    I looked at it anyway, and you did a fantastic job on the lighting and skin work. She really has amazing skin, or at least, you made her look like she did!

    How did you light the scene in those small quarters?

    Good point on the rating. Should have thought about that as there is implied in some shots.

    As far as the lighting, the shop has extremely high ceilings, so we had 3 AB 800's set up. Main light with a shoot through umbrella and then used the two side lights for fill. Also used some honeycombs for the isolated lighting shots.

    She has fantastic skin. I did use Portraiture plug in, but didn't need to do much with it.
