This image was taken in a studio at our local camera shop. Lighting was a 24" beauty dish with AD200. Plenty of ambient light from the large studio. Model is surrounded with white tulle. I did ICM to achieve the slight blur in the tulle but the flash kept the models face, especially her right eye sharp. SS 1/10 second; ISO 800; f/5.6; 50mm from the canon 24-105 f/4 lens. Canon R5. Image was imported into Capture One Pro. Then exported to Photoshop where additional editing was done. At the end I added an overlay to the image. Overlay is a texture from flypaper textures. I particularly like overlays because the model/subject blends in with the background. Becomes one with the background In contrast with compositions that tend to separate the subject from the background. With the help of the multiple 'blending modes' that Photoshop offers, the photographer/editor can then choose from a variety of looks for their image.
