hi guys please right my wrongs, This image was made with two speedlites, one on the camera and the other was off-camera to the right in a softbox, and a reflector to the left.
Wow! This is an all around great image. I love the color and the attention to detail in her accessories. Good job.
My only 'critical' comment would be that your on-camera flash is creating an extra (and small) catchlight in her eye that's a bit distracting. Pretty small really and an easy fix.
What wrongs? I think you have done a very good job. If we consider you had no modeling lights and just a couple of speedlights, one on camera at that, then I am doubly impressed.
You have demonstrated great use of colour, a strong composition and a lovely girl, always helps.
I think it is very slightly out of balance, she needs a little space to look into, so either shoot with a slightly wider lens or from slightly further back, then crop top and bottom to something like what you have here but leaving the extra width for her looking room. I would have just raised the top so no crop of the hat.
Airbrushing; I think you have done a good job of her skin, which looks great and fairly natural/unreouched. I do think sorting out the reflections of your lights, in her eyes, would be a good idea, though.
wow....such a comment from you means a lot to me, i appreciate.
yeah, the room space was necessary, just that we did this shot in my small living room, didn't have much space to play around, all the same i will consider that next time. and the eyes will definitely be fixed. thank you Ian.
