Photo from: Basic Studio Lighting Seminar July 2007 participant

This is one photo that is difficult to critique, for it seems perfect for my taste. I like how b/w works on the photo, right amount of shadows on the right place and the model nailing the expression. Great work!

Photo from: Basic Studio Lighting Seminar March 2007 participant

I just love this color scheme, pink and blue. Make-up compliments the whole image, the blue eye shadow nicely contrast with the pink wig and clothes. The model’s expression is just perfect. Now for the bad part, there is too much light coming from the top lighting the wig, since the wig is very light colored it will easily overexpose compared to skin or real hair. This just shows how blind a light (flash) meter can be, it can’t tell what the subject is. If you were shooting with a Digital camera, turning on the blinking highlights should already warn you that the hair is being over exposed, and details of the wig are being washed out.
