A couple ikea lights and photoshop

Any feedback to improve? I know I didn't start with the best image but I don't have any lights, just used an ikea desk light pointed at an angle and my ceiling lights. A lot of curve adjustments, then did a brights luminosity mask and did a curve adjustment on that mask to give the image a little pop / contrast

Pushing my gear to the limit

I've heard many times that shooting against the sun it's not recommended but i decided to do it anyway. To my surprise the dynamic range of my D7000 it's waaay higher that nikon would ever care to admit and using just a speedlight in front of my subject i've managed to get this shoot. Let me know what do you think about it

Before/after macro abstract

This was a huge undertaking- model's skin was covered in fine hairs and larger pores, that made the smooth texture I was going after difficult. This was the best I could do. I am wondering if in the future I should ask the makeup artist to wax the model's face, but she advised me the model may be offended! I just wasn't sure how much prep was...

Lightening and manipulation

Just playing with curves and tones on the first one, adding some gradient layer.
Second one is a bit photomanipulated, adding foggy effect and sky, I am still quite amateur when it comes to photomanipulation, learning. For night effect I used color balance, curves and solid color layer as I remember. I would like to hear some critiques,...

1 hour edit

This was just a quick edit before a lesson I am holding tomorrow. Skin could be smoother but total retouching time came to just over an hour.
