After two days of work, shooting hundreds of pictures, many different outfits and makeups... we finished yesterday our shooting for this year... and I think we have already pictures enough for Sus homepage...
I want to show my lighting here... I make a change ... leaving my umbrella high at my right and the softbox at the left... I had the great help of a friend of mine helping with the reflector... I think the lighting improved here...
We also worked smiles and poses... it has been a great experience ...

I think your lighting is superb! Hair, skin tones are great and these all reflect so much effort; what a success! The apertures you used are really thoughtfully chosen.
In this instance, the low viewpoint has really worked well, adding a touch of mood and strength to the subject: a good job she has the facial structure for this to work well. This is a personal thing: for me: the ones that work best are the ones with a longer focal length: perhaps shorter focal lengths could be a little unflattering for the nose. Perhaps the merest hint of local blur or even cloning could be effective in pp for any potential hotspots?
I really do think the lighting is excellent: catchlights on jewellery and in eyes, beautifully balanced lighting all around. Absolutely stunning, really well-crafted and a real showcase of your hard work and talent. Irma, brilliant.

Hi, Irma!
WOW...These are a huge improvement over the first batch. The lighting is great, the hot spots are essentially gone. I find all the poses very attractive. The work that you put into these images has really paid off.
Regards.....Dennis

You nailed it much better this time Irma - getting the lights up higher made a big difference. Poses are much better too.
Well done!
Canon stuff.

Excellent stuff, really! I bet your model is thrilled to have so many aspects of her personality captured - all in such a wonderful way. You have a new career ahead of you as a portrait photographer!
