New set: Anita & Lucie - Natural Light Portraits

[rdh]

Hey-ho!

Had great fun on this shoot, Anita and Lucie were great to work with - lovely people

Wanted to shoot this without the paraphernalia of on-location lighting, so used only a single gold reflector. Great way to shoot quickly and keep things moving.

Some gorgeous portraits in there. I *think* I love the first one the best. Although no6 is also just stunning

Wow, these are great, just the style I'm aiming for and love to see!

The last two are FANTASTIC, especially number 6. I love it!

With quality like this yo have to choose on personal favourites and number one jumps out at me. Well done.

Thanks

Yes DG - Lightroom, had a fiddle with colour tones and saturation. Photoshop for the sharpening and retouching.

Lightroom has a bad habit of creating halo's around hard lines when exporting with a sharpen filter, notice it on many photographs.

They all look nice and the models looked relaxed, which is always good.

psenior1: if you can afford it, all I can say is buy it right now. For portraits, nothing beats it
