A simple portrait

[srwatters]

Just a simple portrait of an attractive woman. Two lights + one reflector.

Model: Candace Nirvana
MUA: Brad Overcash

Nikon D3, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR
ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/160 @ 105mm


Comments appreciated as always.

Scott, Great work as always. One thing bugs me, and it may be my laptop monitor... The end of her nose seems a bit off- like silly putty stuck over it. It may be the contrast between the light and the shadow underneath her nose. Does anyone else see this, or is it just me?

Lighting and exposure is impeccable as always.

My only comment is about the facial structure of the model. Her nose is a bit big. Her eyes seem not to be symmetrical. I can't tell if it's the tilt of her head, or if that's just the way they are.

Agreed. She's a hideous monster!

Maybe the light was just high enough to cast the big shadow under her nose? I really didn't notice until it was brought up, and I don't know that' it's a problem. You're the man!

Candace is an actor and model, so I didn't use the liquify tool at all on her images. I might have touched up her left (camera right) eye just a smidge and tightened her nose a bit too, but was asked to leave them "honest" for her.

Thanks for the comments!

There are some additional shots in my Pbase gallery. http://www.pbase.com/srwatters/candace

I am a huge fan of all your work...and, this shot is beautiful too, but my favorite of her are the ones on the grungy chair in your pbase!

The eyes are fine in the pbase images. I think it's just an illusion in this angle.
I really like .18jpg.
