A portrait

[loydall]

This is one of the portraits I shot from a shoot a did a few weeks back. There were a whole load more but I quite liked this one. Would be interested to know what you think.

Shot with a 24-70 L at about f6 (I think). 1 softbox/canon speedlight camera left and a gold/silver reflector bottom right. Then another speedlight behind but I've photoshoped a coloured background over the white background.

That is an AWESOME portrait. The framing and the expression is perfect. I also like the color you chose instead of keeping it plain white.

You're lighting is getting really nice as well. The only nitpicks I would see before calling it finalized would be to clean up the little bits all over. Just things like dust or whatever is all over her clothing, a LITTLE bit of work on her skin, and the hair to the left of her face.

Great Shot! You have captured an image that allows a person to stare at and keep seeing different items. I am drawn to the difference in her eyes, how the right and left are not shaped the same. The eyebrows, how the right looks different than the left. The bump on her nose. The lower lip almost looks slightly off center, looking at the wrinkle lines, from the top lip. etc. etc...
My hats off to you, this is a keeper!
