Fashion

[GB1]

It is a tad bright, though I'm not sure how much difference it makes as I was shooting her vs the clothes. But if it were a real fashion shoot, yeah... It would probably be unacceptable. The question I have is, why did it blow out like that as I didn't have the lights that close... Hmm.

I think it's the exposure. I would look at the dynamic range between the face and the jacket, and the positioning of the light itself. Hopefully if you shoot raw, you can tone down the brightness and recover some details in the jacket.

If you were using spot metering and single point focus (which I often do) and focused on the face, that's what it exposed for. This is one of those situations where the argument for using an incident light meter is quite valid as it appears that your 'in camera' meter was tricked by the amount of light reflected off the jacket.

Other than that, very nice shot! love the pose, and very good reflection management on the sunglasses.
