Another photo of my 'porcelaine skin' project. Please don't tell me

it is overexposed; it isn't, the effect is created by pouring huge

amounts of light onto the face with one single 1000W flash head with

umbrella. With this effect the viewer is not distracted and focuses

only on the expression. Exposure is F22/125

 

Please visit my portrait portfolio if you are interested in seeing

more subjects with this light. Thank you for your comments!

Incredible effect, 'luminous' sharpness! 7s.

Too much light on the face for my opinion. I would prefer some structure and depth in the face instead of (or in addition to :-)) her shirt.

 

Oh sorry, I just read this was intended. Anyway - shouldn't even procelain show some depth?

There's a fine line to emphasize her cheekbone.

Yes I tend to agree but the models keep asking me for this effect. Upon scanning the negative I still have some skin detail and I can adjust it, however most of the female models prefer it like this. In any event the adjustments are very small and depending on your (and my) monitor settings you might see some more or less of the skin details.
