Some shots using backlight and a reflector.

Very nice!

Maybe consider cloning out the highly reflective zipper on her pants in the second image? :oops:

Not sure if you're looking for feedback, but I think your reflector was at such a low angle that it created unattractive lighting and shadows.
For example: the area just above her shirt should normally be lit and the area under her chin in shadow, but it's reversed in these images.


Canon 7D, 5D, 35L, 50 f/1.4, 85 f/1.8, 135L, 200L, 10-22, 17-55, 70-300, 100-400L, 500D, 580EX(2).
Sigma 150 macro, 1.4X, 2X, Quantaray 2X, Kenko closeup tubes, Yongnuo YN685(3), Yongnuo YN-622C-TX. Lots of studio stuff.

The first one is a really nice image but her skin looks a little blotchy. I can't tell if its the lighting or your PP.

The images looks a little too dark for my taste...
I would bump up the exposure a bit!

It's the effect of the reflector acting as a "low light source". It needs to be positioned higher.

I probably would have used the reflector in the second pic to better light her gorgeous brown eyes...You have all the backlight to work with...I can see if it is just you two without a reflector stand as being difficult. Thought maybe why the reflector is low on the first pic...

The images look strange for some reason. Her skin doesn't look right, i don't know if it's because it's lit from the underside or heavy smoothing in post. The images don't look very sharp either.
