Here are some new photos from the workshop day a few weeks ago.
This is Danielle, she is a fellow photog that dressed up for us that day.Lit with one strobe facing the camera, but not directly as not to light the wall,and a reflector to bounce light back to light her face.



Whatcha think?

Wow...love them all. That woman should be in front of the camera more often!

Ditto! I love your processing as well. She looks human, not plastic.

Overall I like them a lot, with the exception of the first one. I see a bit of haloing from the sharpening and that large hand draws the eye quite a bit. The lighting on all of them is very well done.

I like the second one. Wonder what she would look like if she smiled?

<-- Posting from BlackBerry while in bed so that I can remember to check them out from my desktop in the morning. The thumbnails look great...

Thanks for the comments. really not a lot of processing, mostly on the skin to highlite areas. Danielle was perfect for this.
In hindsight maybe I should have stayed with my initial free study entry. Danielle 3.
My entry is taking a hit. 7ish down to 6.5ish overnight.( I know its early).

Sheesh, I wish I had the problem of "only" having 6.5 on a freestudy! :)

A little too stark and void of emotion for my tastes.

Which means they're probably perfect for the genre :)

love the fact that thoses are very dark, yet perfectly lighted. Great job with the lighting.

I love them! The only thing I don't like is the skin tone on the fourth image. She looks dead.

Just curious where do you see the haloing?

I think you did a great job with this set. I really enjoyed viewing them. The lighting was great.

i love these shots especially the blue tones, very steely :) great job (as with all you photos that ive seen) and particularly, great job on the lighting i really love the focus drawn to her face through the background lighting. my fave is the 3rd one i love the little variance in the steely blue background to the left hand side of the photo and i also love the body positioning in it. great use of a wide angle for portraiture IMO.

A bit around the hair, but especially her right shoulder. Maybe haloing isn't the right term if interpreted like tonemapping halos. It's a whitish line that follows along her should and towards arm. In the lower contrast areas I don't see it.

V for Very good Ken :-)

Ah yes. I will try and fix.
