Default A Portraits of Stephania

Shot this a while back in DT Houston. She's a great kid.

She is a beautiful girl.

What kind of lighting did you use?

The pose leads the eye to the left and the arrow on the door in the back is also pointing left. What is to the left? Ok not so funny, but she does look nice. You do nice work.

Yeah, that arrow does take away a little bit. But as far as lighting i used a SB-800 mounted on an ALZO flash bracket, and a silver reflector off to the left bouncing some light onto the inside of her face.

Yes, she is very pretty, and she is one of my main models that i use a lot for my workshops.

She's a lovely model indeed! In addition to the other comments about the composition, her raised knee seems to be in sharper focus than her face.

The Only Negative Thing Is That The First thing That I see Is The Bottom Of her Boots.Now That's Ok if your Doing A shoe ad. But I would Have liked to see the Same Pose At Other Angles.I try Not to Show The Soles of Shoes.This Angle Also Compresses Her Figure.A side view May Have Been more Flattering To Her Great Figure.As Far As Attention To Detail,You Could Remove the Signage With Photoshop.
