First Model Shoot

[Pentaxian]

Here's a shot of the first model shoot I did. The model is my wife. It was taken with only sunlight coming through the window. It was taken at f4 and 1/4 of a second handheld. Obviously it's a bit more blurry than I'd like due to the low light/slow shutter speed. I did a bit of a cross process effect in PS to mute the colors. (Also basic unsharp mask and bump to exposure)

What's everyone think?

I love it!!!!! Great shot, especially considering it was handheld!

Are her eyes really that dark? I love the shot.

Yeah her eyes are very dark brown. In fact the sharpening I did probably lightened them a bit.

Excellent shot! If you can get her to pose some more, you should fill up your portfolio. Shots like this will definitly get you some business. I especially like the way the light enters her right eye, showing the golden highlights. Keep up the good work. You're well on your way.

As one of black/brown eyes, I can really appreciate the depth in her gorgeous eyes.

What a lovely shot, nice lighting, and such a great model at your disposal! Or beck and call... or...

Take more photos of her - you can't go wrong!

lovely lighting! nice colors

Striking eyes! Did you do anything to subdue the catchlights? Did the cross-processing cause the highlight detail to be lost in her hair? Nice work!

Great shot. Lovely and well lit. Hope to see more of your work.

Very nice shot, well done. I can't help but wonder though how the shot would look with a little less light on the right side of the face, possibly giving the face a bit more depth?

geat work.
