[Oxford_Matt]

Please let me know what u Guys think of this photo.

It was only my 2nd studio shoot. Severly lacking confidence at the moment.

Bit worried about the Colour??

colour, sharpness, exposure all look great on my monitor. Lighting may be a ever so slightly too hot on model's left side of face. Could be my monitor, too though.

Nicely done!

Color's good on my monitor. I think the lighting is a bit too much, although I like the more natural look. That pose isn't doing anything flattering for the lady.

Looks like you're getting a bit of "Light Wrap" from how you've lit/exposed the background.

Robbing you of some contrast. Really attractive young lady. Lot of potential there IMO.

Your right.

The studio has x2 500w Bowens lighting the background, a softbox to light the model, a low white ceiling and white walls. Is there any way of avoiding this wrap??

If i move the model too far forward you get the top of the seamless roll in because of the low ceiling...

Cheers for the replies Guys..

I agree with Jay....she is a beauty,. Not really keen on the "squat" pose though;) Lovely outfit and simple accessories.

If your background is evenly lit, you can easily copy/paste some extra if you shoot off the top.

I agree, but 200+ Photos would just take too long. :confused:

Does it help if i cover or the walls or use flags??

Covering the walls with black fabric would help stray splatter but I'm not sure it would help with the actual light wrapping effect.

Perhaps try dropping the exposure on the white background just a bit?

I struggle to get pure white background as it is, I have to pp the edges.

Is it normal not to have the floor on some pure white backgrounds not completely white??

I think some shadows would help. Or reflection from acrylic.
Color looks good.

Thanks for all the comments.

I would like some advice on how to bring more shadows in whiskt keeping the background pure White.

If moving the model forward to avoid light wrap and stray light is the answer I am unable to do that
due to the studio size.

As for the Model, she has never modelled before and was very comfortable in front of the camera.
This is not the best pose I admit. But I did get plenty of decent shots.
