Untitled

You have some lovely portraits in your gallery but in my mind this isn't one of them. Its striking but not in a good way; almost a bit cartoonish but that's likely the influence of the subject's makeup and red nose. I rather like the perspective view in the background - a different model, and pose, might have done very well there.

The only comment on lighting I'd make in the context of this image specifically is that it makes the background look like a false backdrop even more by creating a very different set of light values than exists in the location. I see some other images which appear to be in that same location which use light a little more naturally - these are far better in my opinion.

Mike I appreciate the comment. This was a bunch of headshots for these dancers that they wanted taken outside and this poor girl was the only one that was freezing. I could not (since I did not have a make up artist) do anything about that nose at the time of shooting, and I am not a big one for doctoring up photos.
