 I like to call this one She-Wolf

Photo specs:
1) done in a studio setup with a white backdrop
2) I used 4 strobes. Two infront at 45 degrees and two behind above her at 45 degrees.
3) I shot from a low angle
4) I shot this at F-11 and a shutter of 160 at 100 ISO
5) Yes this gal had vampire teeth and was on a chain leash.

Processing techniques used:
1) did levels at each channel (RGB)
2) DId curves to find true whites and blacks
3) did selective Coloring and darkened the reds a little
4) I burned Around the eyes to give it that undead/horror look. I also burned her facelines and eyebrows to look scarier
4) Dodge the face and hair to show more of the lighting on her face and highlights on her hair.
5) dodged the eyes
6) dodged and burned the coat.
7) Desaturated the shot to give it a more dark and eerier feel.
8) Made the white background gray via layers
8) Sharpened the eyes, and lips

Very nice work and really effective. I'm not sure about the inert background though, A white or black background might be more effective in supporting the drama you have created with your model. Just looked at your notes.... the background was white? I'd be interested to that recovered in software.

Certainly conveys a sense of ferociousness
