I made this image using a white shoot-through umbrella immediately

above the model and a white reflector below to fill (essentially

butterfly lighting). Used an EX430II metered by e-ttl and driven by a

disabled on-camera flash. No ambient light recorded. This is now

my second formal shoot, so please help me along my journey with

your comments!

The shoot fitted my vision, I wanted soft, flattering light to give soft

tones and shadows. Although the model had amazing skin, I used

red, yellow and orange sliders to generate the almost porcelain skin.

Hope you like it and thanks for looking.

All comments and criticisms greatly received.

Really cool detail in her iris's. Great portrait

Thank you Jim.  I really appreciate your comments.  I seem to be favouring a certain lighting set-up, now all I need to do is move out of my comfort zone once again!
