Taking A Closer Look
As we walk around whether in the neighborhood or on vacations our eyes are attracted to something and we choose to either ignore it or pick it up and carry it around before discarding.

Model testing
This image was done in late 1980s on Polaroid's instant slide film Polapan - a prefect film for beauty and boudoir photography as skin tones were rendered silky.

This end result (Photography + PP) is super amazing.
Thanks. Broncolor Para 133 helped minimize PP
Is this only with the 133? Very curious how the picture looks SOOC.
I tried using it with a beauty dish, but I'm not happy with the results = https://fstoppers.com/groups/324/beauty-portrait-editorial-makeup-photo….
Your picture looks much better exposed. I winged it that day and I'm also not a full time photographer, so I've only used it ones.
Yes, just the Para 133. I played with the contrast just a touch in Capture One. Then usual the skin smoothing.
The Para 133 works as well and even better than a BD (IMO). I’d say a BD and the Para 133 would be too much and would flatten an image out.
The Para was fully defocussed and raised to just above the camera lens about 3 feet from the model.
I use a flash meter to get my exposure.
