Satu

Satu is Miss Finland 2008 and by far our

best shot in getting finally some success in Miss

Universe stampede since the days of Anne Pohtamo.

Simple promo shot.

I envy you for have one of the prettiest girl in your country in front of your camera :)

But I think you hit her a bit hard with the light from the side, some kind of fill light ore reflector on the shadow side would have been an improvement in my opinion.

There is some dark strokes in the background. I think you get a cleaner shoot if you remove them.

Beside that it is a great shoot.

Cheers Tore

Hi Tore!

What do you mean "one of the prettiest"? She is the prettiest,

and I can prove it :-)...

This was done with maximum portability, one 100x100 recta

sobo, and no assistants, so yes, the lighting was a bit off side...

but on the other hand, I like my portraits contrasty even though

they do not max out the flattening effect.

The background is a concrete wall, and the smudges are from the wall,

so no strokes there.

Thanks for the lovely comment! I must peek into your folders soon...

BR,

Olli
