Soft shadows

I have worked with this model before and she is one of the most beautiful models there

are in Slovenia. Kind and nice. I wanted to show that in her portraits that were a part of

the boudoir session we did. The shot is taken with my faithful 1m deep Octabox

mounted on the Elinchrom BRX 500 light. The softness is acquired in PS in post

production.

Comments and critique sooooo welcome,

Love, Ulla

I saw this portrait on Instagram, the lighting in your boudoire shots is fabulous. I don't use lighting often, so I'm always impressed when I see really good lighting.

I'm not a portrait painter; when I see this perfection with works I remain very fascinated! Compliments! Ciao Gianni

I love it! kind regards, Oliver

Beautiful portrait of a stunning model. Its the lighting that makes the picture for me. Really excellent!

Congratulations Ulla this is a very beautiful portrait of a lovely woman the soft lighting is perfect for the subject and shows just the right amount of shadow detail to produce modelling of the sitters head to give it form and shape, my only criticism is that  of the composition, the models eyes are far too low in the frame ( they should be in the top third ) but this can easily remedied by cropping the top of the picture to a little above her head. Try it I'm sure you will agree that it improves it and concentrates the image.

You are a great portraitist!!! Compliments, my dear friend!

so beautiful
