My Wife, Holly

The main thing I am looking for is a critique on the skin toning. I am still

learning how to make skin look its best.

 

Of course, any other constructive comments, positive and negative, are

welcome and appreciated. Thank you!

Nice portrait!! I like the lighting in this shot! I find the background a bit too contrasty... I wish it was lighter and the left edge of the model was softer and blended into the background...

 

Best regards,

This is a nice portrait; she has a nice natural expression. For me the right side of her face is a bit too bright, but I don't think it detracts from the image too much. Overall, I like it! Great Job!

Thank you for your comments.

 

Vamsi, I do need to soften the contrast on the shadowed side a bit. Thank you for picking up on that.

 

Kelly, this is one of the many challenges of studio lights. The difference between slight over exposure and the right exposure is, quite literally, a matter of inches. Had I moved the strobe a mere 6 inches further away, or dialed the strobe intensity down ONE notch, it would have made all the difference. Lousy inverse square law! But this lighting is brand new to me and I am learning. I will look into recovering that area. Thanks!
