Studio Portrait

[ianpinion]

I attended my first studio photo shoot for over 20 years and this I think is my best shot from the day. How did I do, as I found it a very challenging day? Hats off to you guys who do fashion shoots for a living.

I think you did very well, nice tones throughout, not sure if the eyes are a little dark.

Thanks Gary! I agree her right eye looks a little dark as I think her hair was just shading it from the light, so I didn't get the catch light in it like her left eye. I might have to go and do a bit of cloning and dodging to see if I can improve upon it.

I've just brightened her eyes a little. Is that better?

Thanks Dan! Yes the photograph now showing is the reworked version. I meant to do it a few days ago, but I've been busy either out and about, working and editing some more shots from the shoot.

No Dan, the model in the first pic is stunning! Personally, my favourite pic is the second one of the three.

I think you must fancy this model and that's why it's your favourite!
