Carrie - revisited

[jetrim]

Carrie was the first model I ever shot in a studio setting, back in May. I had the opportunity to shoot her again yesterday, but this shot has a secret Thoughts?

The composition is nice as well as the DOF, the background a little bright and her makeup is showing a little to much. I think I like the previous ones better. She seems to be comfortable and relaxed.

She's wearing the same dress?

[jetrim]

LOL Frog :lol:
No, not the same dress. The secret is about the photo, not the model. Here's another hint, a 100% crop taken from the original (BTW this is straight out of the camera, not post processing except for RAW conversion "as shot" and resize)

Jim - The lighting seems a bit harsh here, not super glamorous. Maybe too much contrast? I think her skin texture may also work better outdoors than in the studio, where I've found that smooth skinned models who look like they've never worked a day in their lives look best (but that's just a loose rule). Pretty dark there in the bottom right. Try desaturating and see what happens,

IMPRESSIVE detail !

the secret is that it is a Leica ?

[jetrim]

Somebody peeked at the EXIF
This was shot with one of only two production models of the new Leica S2 medium format cameras worldwide.

[MarcusK]

Well, both a re nice images, but I prefer the second one, and no it's not just because the camera is in it

With such portrait shots, and I have gotten too used to softening the skin, while keeping some texture to it... other than that, I would say the eyes are a bit dark...

But that's impressive detail nonetheless...
