Ariana

What do you say?

I went back and forth many times between your Ariana shots, and the ones of her in the dress have such a nice treatment of her eyes I finally decided that's what's missing in the nudes. She has very expressive eyes, and it's lost in the nude shots; not completely, but enough to detract from the impact of the image. Otherwise they are all very strong, very well done portraits.

I like this very much. But, I can see where the above poster is coming from.

 

 

I love the beautiful light you managed to get on her face in the clothed shot (the one with cropped elbow). If it were possible to have that facial light and not lose the excellent lighting across the body and subtle background of this image, I think you'd get close to perfection -- you're not far off as it is.

 

 

That's the difference between a very large bank of old factory windows (in the shots you mentioned) and a couple of smallish softboxes in the studio. Maybe I'll move them in closer next time.

 

Thanks for your comments!

I looked at it several times, great image
