This beauty shot was captured using a 120cm reflective umbrella without any diffusion, complemented by a reflector to bounce light from below and fill in the shadows. Initial color and lighting adjustments were made in Lightroom. Moving on to Photoshop, I removed facial imperfections, refined the makeup, enhanced jewellry and nails, brightened the eyes, applied dodge and burn techniques, conducted final color grading, and introduced a touch of grain for a polished finish. Sony a7III and Sigma 105 macro f2.8.
