2.53 - "Solid" 

This is Rachel, she was brand new to modeling. Her mom asked me if I would mind shooting with her. I was happy to work with her. She was already an accomplished MUA. She stepped right into it and never looked back. Later on to become a talented body painter as well.

Shot with my 5D MKIII and Sigma 85mm 1.4. Clamshell lighting with one Einstein, in a medium softbox above and slightly to camera right and a reflector underneath. ISO 200, 1/160 at f 4.5. In front of a cloth background.

Retouch; RAW processing in LRC, crop, color correction and tonality. A little clarity and negative texture.

Photoshop; Blemish removal and cleanup fly away hairs. Dodge and burn, adjust coloring, sharpening added a filmstock LUT, some contouring with soft light blend layers. liquify the hair a bit, eye treatment, add tonal contrast and vignette.
