About the Image(s)
Technical: 1/160, f/8 ISO 100 at 80 mm (FF), and 2 flashes.
A workshop was organized about the light. First participation for me. We were 5 photographs. After the experience, it is too much. Now I would prefer to be max 2 photograph. You will have more time to speak with the girl and to prepare the different the pose of the girl. Now I would change some position of the arms, the clothes, … for the next workshop.
BEFORE THIS WORKSHOP, I didn’t know how to realize such picture. - 4 IL for the dark (black), and two flashes for the white, one for the light on the wall , the other towards the girl. She stood "50 %” against the wight wall of the studio (right of the image), and “50 %” against “nothing” (another wall 4 meters behind her) (left of the image).
I increased quite a lot (+ 69) the white and decreased (-80) the highlight. To have a “softener” skin, I also reduceD the clarity and the texture. As the studio was quite new (and not yet completely finished), I had the remove the wooden “slat” above het head.
Thanks for your comments.

Because of the bad balance of lighting on the models face, not your fault your softening and work is losing most of the definition on the right side and the face and hand are very harsh with the lack of the right lighting contrast, again not your fault.
One thing you should have done as you were primary photographer was to move all the hair off her should and hand. Would make a great difference.
The image has faults but are not of your doing, this is the main problem of going to these training days. Not all are as good as they say. But you have learnt a new technique.   Posted: 10/19/2020 05:53:51
