One more from this shoot. I am wondering about the lighting on her right arm. Is the fact that it is darker than the rest of her distracting on does it work? The hair on her mouth..does it take away form the pic or add to the motion of it all. Also please not there is no vignetting added to this pic.




Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Exposure: 0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: f/8.0
Focal Length: 75 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Exposure Bias: 0 EV
Flash: On, Fired

I like the light you have going on here, I don't find the shadow on the arm distracting I think it gives the photo more depth that would be lost if you added some fill in there. You can however experiment next time with some fill and see how it turns out. The hair over her face I find to be pretty distracting. For shots like this you really just need to take a lot of images until the hair is where you want it. I'm not sure I'm sold on the kissy face or the closed eyes but that's a personal taste if this is what you or the model were going for that's perfectly acceptable.

How was this lit?

Lighting was a 3'x4' Softbox camera right, a 20degree grip spot directly over head aimed straight down at a 2:1 ratio and a 10degree grid spot for the halo on the backgroundat a 1:1 ratio to the key light.

Personally I would have liked an uniform lighting on both arms... Those hairs on her mouth could be taken away too, to have a cleaner picture.
But I guess it's just a matter of tastes.

this looks great, 'in (great) focus' and LARGE
so feel free with zoooming way in on her hair and taking it out via photoshop
