Post your shallow DOF studio/constant light portraiture

Here is another one. Both lit with a silver reflector just before sunset with the sun behind her.

Like the back light on the hair. The catch light in the eyes seems to overpower them, and the pupils in the second image have almost disappeared; do you think that a white reflector would have done the job and kept the light a bit softer?

Thanks for the feedback - I might go back and look at her eyes a bit more closely. A white reflector wouldn't have given the bang that I was after

One for this thread, nice to see so many great images.
85mm, f1.2, 1/160s, iso100 , one studio strobe on 120cm octa camera right, model light only.

Stunning

Thanks a lot

Trying the 24-70 2.8 Mk I recently - I love this lens, really good for portraits as well as almost everything else.

Ambient light, no reflectors or additional lights.

Here's a shot using the Sony A7II with a Tamron 24-70 2.8 lens (a Sony A-mount version with the LAEA4 adapter). Shot at f/2.8.

Wow such awesome work everyone!!! Some major inspiring imagery here! This is def one of the best threads on POTN and I started it!

There's something fancy over her chest, over-sharpening maybe?
