Grace,it's the name for a girl / It's also a thought that changed the world / And when she walks on the street / You can hear the strings / Grace finds goodness in everything. (lyrics by Bono of U2) no photoshop used. Shot at Zebrow Studios.
Great pose and the dark background focusses attention on her eyes. I'm really no expert in studio work, but it strikes me that many of your photos appear very harshly lit. This one is no exception. The catchlights in her eyes suggest you used a single light source with no soft box. I can see that you're trying to achieve a more graphic style, but just a touch of extra lighting or a reflector would have added some detail to the shadows and softened her features, with a more flattering end result. The reflection of light off her forehead helps none, either. "Makeup Department?!" Like Biliana, I'd like to see this in B&W. Harsh lighting tends to suit that medium better. But, hey, top marks for not stretching a pair of tights (pantyhose?? I'm English) over the lens and backlighting her hair!
