Bowens Supersoft 600 - Bored Wife Portrait

[chris.bailey]

I borrowed a Bowens 600mm Supersoft reflector over the weekend. It really is the softest of portrait lights and produces nice round catchlights. As ever, I dragged my suffering wife in to the studio (the kids were not playing ball) and of those I took I was kinda pleased with this.

Wonderful shot, Chris.

Lighting was great, her pose and expression gives image a great depth!

Excellent work, keep them coming!

No I added a bit of softness and grain. The original is pin sharp

I was trying to reproduce the sort of results I used to get with B&W film, Ilford FP4 kind of.
