I collaborated with Ginger on December 22, 2017, while she was home for the holidays. This is one of many portraits that we created. I had her pose about 6 feet in front of an old brick wall in the studio that I use and used my 85mm prime lens, wide open. I used my White Lightning X1600 Strobe on low power in the low range with a medium sized soft box as a light modifier. In PhotoShop, I touched up some stray hairs and a couple minor blemishes with Content Aware Fill. I them cropped the image slightly to place the eyes at the 1/3 top line and Ginger’s left eye at the “power point” where the 1/3 top and 1/3 right lines cross. I did it the easy way this month. Ginger loved the final version.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

Wonderful connection. Her expression and hands and head position all work very well together.
The colors are marvelous. It almost feels like a sepia, and then there's that nice touch of color on her lips.
Great composition. I like how her sleeve just shows at the bottom so my eye does not wander off the bottom.
One nit: the bright spots in the background are a bit distracting. Perhaps a touch of vignette might be useful.   Posted: 01/17/2018 17:54:08
Pose of the model is the one I also use to look for in my portraits, I realy like very much the presence of her hand.
Congratulations Dave.   Posted: 01/25/2018 12:42:58
