Just taken this in a studio session. My monitor is calibrated, but I am having a hard time deciding on the skin tone of this little lad.
His dad is Zimbabwean, and his mum white british.

Do you think this skin looks too red? Or something else? I have 100+ shots of this little fella to process so I want to know now before I do it.

That's what I thought. But then there is a little less light as he is laid low in this shot, so less well lit.


Just for comparison (again, I know you haven't seen these people in the flesh) here are the parents with the boy...

I figured it out...the sheepskin was on a beanbag on the floor, but didn't cover all the beanbag. The beanbag was bright red!
Doh!

Lesson learned, although it's only the ones with him on the Beanbag, so not too drastic.

Cheers
