Vintage Beauty Shoot

Post by stargirlphotography »

Image

Taken 1st July and only just worked my way through all the editing. More are up on the 'Stargirlphotography' fanpage on facebook but I can comment below with more images if you want to see them and can't wait for me to post them on flickr etc lol.

Let me know what you think =)
Not sure if it looks a little dark because of facebook messing with the image =(

Will be posting images on the gallery once my account has been approved ;D

Not much I can add at all. Your shots are fabulous, they show off the model to their very best. Processing is just right, colours are just right.

If I had to find just one tiny little negative... I didn't take this picture :)

Hi Kat

The image doesn't look dark on my monitor. It looks fine.

It's a competent and pleasant image.

If it were mine I'd personally be tempted to:

- Crop a little off the top of the frame to lose some of the bright highlights

- Balance the catchlights in her eyes, perhaps by cloning the bottom catchlight from her right eye onto her left and then reducing the opacity a touch so it's not exactly the same

I did try to bring the highlights back a little so they aren't blown out and I'm just a stickler for rule of thirds lol

and i will try to remember the balancing catchlights - they did bug me but I let it go cause i knew it reflected the lighting because of the gold reflector I had to the side of the model. I tend to leave catchlights alone but they're rather imbalanced in this one oops lol

and kevin just get a model, mua and a reflector and you can take photos like this yourself =D
