I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Hi, Don!
The picture is beautiful! The model is awesome, the background and the dress combines well each other, the makeup is simple but clean.
The pose maybe is not the most flattering. Her left ear is a little bit distracting for me, it catches my attention too much.
And I would add some separarion between the model and the background, maybe a rim or a hair light.
Thank you!
Thanks. Hard to do a hair /rim light using just one light. :-). I burned the ear a bit but it is naturally there. Cheers!
Yeah, that's my point. Dark hair + dark background, better to use 2 lights setup.
Agreed. I wanted the photo as shot though. One light.
