    Chris, congrats on the studio access! Proper space is hard to overestimate.clap.gif
    I like posing and angles much better comparing to your prior attempts. thumb.gif
    Couple of things that still seem to require an improvement:
    • Ligthing
      Judging by the total lack of shadows your light source was very close to the camera, almost like an on-camera flash. headscratch.gif
      While it's a legitimate lighting setup, the primary reason people use the term "studio lighting" is to indicate an OFF-camera light location. Shadows are your friends, and direct lighting in most cases leads to somewhat bland results.
      As Mr. McNally said (quoting one of his mentors), "you don't have to light it all to make it look interesting".
      In fact, it's often exactly the opposite. ne_nau.gif
    • Postprocessing
      One word: HEAVY deal.gif.
      In my mind, postprocessing is supposed to improve an already good picture, not to salvage it (although this can be a last resort sometimes), or, in this particular case, make it worse. ne_nau.gif
    Keep shooting, keep sharing! thumb.gif
