Once again here is Katarzyna, to me one of my most beautiful models.

We shot 4 outfits in this session and this gray/black outfit was first. I'll post the others in the next few days. As always, CLICK THE FIRST IMAGE for her full gallery but it's not finished yet.

The first three are natural light. The last three are OCF (camera right) using some of the lessons learned here.

    These are really nice, John. Among the best I've seen from you (at least for my taste). That last one is stunning...just draws me in!

    Thanks Brian. I take that as high praise indeed from you.wings.gif

    Yaflie, we agree. If you look at my stuff, headshots are my obsession, especially when the head in question looks like Katarzyna.mwink.gif

    Nice set. My only nitpick is 4. Great pose and lighting. However, I think the little bit of asphalt she is standing on takes away from the photo. Just a few steps back and it's an all natural picture. Paths are good when you want to have lines that point to the subject so they are not a no-no. I just think for this setting and since the asphalt doesn't add anything to the picture, it would be best to not have it part of the picture.
