AB800 in giant soft box camera right

Pretty sure that what I had. Anyway here are two different crops.

great shot. love the first one because you really focus on her eyes there.

Thanks guys. What do you think of the skin processing? I was playing with a new technique. Normally I smooth it out much much more but this shoot I couldn't.

the second shot is definatley more what i'd say is your "style" the first does look a bit.. make-up'y
cool none the less.
what do you use to process the skin? i'm considering portrait Professional (the trial seems to work quite nicley), as i find elements too fiddly and time consuming.

Very nice creativity. Sweet shots!

I like the skin processing you've done. It's not your normal smooth self but it works really well.

Sweet! Good news is the agency really loves the pictures so looks like I could have more potential work soon. The skin processing was the one thing I was most worried about.

As for smoothing I used good ol photoshop.
