Re: My friend Laura

A nice set. Lucky you to have a model to work with - i just have small children who refuse to stay still and smile!!!!
My thoughts on number 1 are that the lighting on the face doesn't match the lighting / tones of the location. It seems a little harsh to me. Were you using a flash?
I prefer number 4 because the skin tones are much warmer and not washed out by a flash.
P.S. I have no idea about how to do lighting (I'm a beginner) so feel free to ignore my opinion!

Re: My friend Laura

Little Me - I am grateful of any opinion; Its good to know others thoughts. I thought the same thing with regards to the lighting and I was using the flash. I know very little about lighting to, currently using the trial and error method!

Re: My friend Laura

I don't know what your photoshop skills are like, but you might be able to 'warm up' that face a bit.

Re: My friend Laura

Unfortunately I haven't got Photoshop yet, been told it's amazing though so will have to invest in it I think!
