Recent off camera flash images

I usually shoot in my little home studio but I enjoy learning to use small off camera flash on location.
Here are some from this summer.

I saw these over at POTN but I can't comment in the glamor section yet! These are incredible as always. I would love to see some of your lighting diagrams and a sneak peek into your post processing. Your final look is always so clean and professional.

Thanks.

I use quite a lot of Dodge and Burn. On the example attached a little more than usual =) ( its all 5 dodge and burn layers composited )

There are 5 adjustment layers , for detail highlights, general highlights, contouring and so on.

They are set to lumnocity blend mode, so they dont add so much miscolorisation .

As for lighting there are two lights tops, i these images. Mostly a Sigma in a shoot thru umbrella front, or slightly to the right if on a stand. Then a Vivitar from behind, side or other direction. The eye reflection usually tell ( if they acan be seen ).

1+2 are great stuff!
The 3rd...ohhh Wow!
On the last something's irritating at her nose...the shadow line looks to sharp...

Great explanation of your workflow...thank's a lot!
