 This is an image I created for a model headed to CMTC. It is to be used for her commercial print contest.

I shot an elinchrome through my white background, which I essentially used as a huge scrim. The light coming right at her comes from a custom large metal lightbox fitted with an AlienBee 1600.

Editing is pretty simple, most of it was done right in ACR. I pushed the warmth and enhanced the vintage feel using split toning. Finally, I dodged and burned and Photoshop, nothing else.

Hello from the critique club...

I love this shot... It definitely has that vintage feel. It's right out of the 50's 60's. I don't like that her hand is cut off though. I do think that takes away from the overall shot. Happy shooting.

Great add of the 60s. Too bad that her index is cut, but really nice

I wish her hand wasn't cut off but apart from that it's really great.

Have no idea why this image appeals to me. But, it does, so have an 8.

Yes - I get a real sense of that cheesy period appeal!

That is definitely a retro look.

Really cool shot! The only thing is that I wish her face was a bit sharper and that her whole hand was in the picture.

good vintage? style shot. lighting a little uneven on the model's neck and cheek and a bit of a yellow cast on everything. Still nice though
