MISTRESS

I wait with bated breath...

In a general way, I like your work, your style, mainly the colors and tones. Your images are different and usually nice.

all-round, this picture works. The distribution of the dark areas is much better here in my opinion. Only the "white light reflections" on the skin of the model are a bit harsh in respect to the overall tones of the photo.The same light intensity, but a tad warmer could maybe be a possibility.

 

How much photoshopping do you do?

I enhance color and light, clearly the blending of colors does not occur in the real world. I use a single light, I shoot all my images in my living room. I make no effort to capture a perfect, fully realized image in the camera. I shoot for general approximation, then "paint" (which is NOT to say I use any kind of painting program) the photograph in minimal post processing which, though minimal, makes a world of difference.

maybe you can put a filter in front of the light, so that is is less "white". Then I would slightly move the light to the right so that the breast does not cast a shadow on the arm.
