About the Image(s)

This portrait was taken with a small ring flash that mounts with a filter adaptor so that it surrounds the lens, providing an even, but highly concentrateed light source. To counteract the specular nature of the light, I used the ANthropics Portrait Pro filter to reducee skin pores and reflections and add a large catchlight to the left side of each eye. I then used Nik Color Efex Pro's Glamour Glow at 100%, and Soft Focus at 30% to lighten and soften the image. Tamron 90 mm lens @ f 5.6.
