Watcha think?

About this shot?

Very Nice
Actually - very very nice.

technically very good. I do think her cheeks are over emphasized a touch from the lighting..they seem to broad? But the only reason i can say this is because I have your wife's face burned into my head in every detail.

Bryce Wilson

Beautiful.

I would remove the backlight kicker camera left though. To me that's more of a masculine look for the shoulders. She is as far from masculine as one could get.

you know what? I have to say I have watched you get your 1st set of gridded lights years ago and that resulted in a revolutionary jump in your work, and you added bits and pieces over time, but now with these reflectors under the face..you have a leveled up again! You reached a level where the light is just so complex and sophisticated in my eyes. I am truly diggin it.

Thanks Daniel. I do agree that the lighting really emphasizes her cheek bones but I'm totally digging it. Although her shirt may not suggest it, I was going for a more fashion type look.

Thanks Bryce. The CL kicker is highlighting her shoulder. I actually had her pull back her right shoulder a bit to give a narrower look because I did notice it when shooting.

Thanks again Daniel. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with how far I've come. I pretty much have a lighting scheme that I can nail every time now and I can replicate easily.

The pp is super. Dont' care for her left cheek. Looks deformed but I think it's the kicker opening the shadow area. Her chest is too bright. Take your brush and sample some of the subdued tones and put it in darken mode about 10% and see if you can tone it down.

Thanks Hack...

Here is a new edit that I think addresses the chest and the shoulder that Bryce mentioned.



And did you guys realize that her shirt was actually purple?

Foques

i'm absolutely in love with the first one.
I'd put that one on a portfolio page.


edit.
I was referring to the PT portfolio/hire me page.
