Studio Headshot

This was a beauty shoot with a local MUA, it was taken in the studio last year:

Overall I like it. The exposure is slightly hot for my taste, and it seems like the composition is specifically designed to advertise the (very obvious) watermark but the large chunk of space on the right has no purpose other than that. The retouch looks nice.

It was a promo shot for a make-up artist, so that's why there's dead space on the right and slightly higher key than I normally shoot. I tend to photograph with space in an image as I've come from a design background so you always looking to create content space. There's actually minimal editing on the image other than colour adjustments on the skin/make-up/hair.

Thanks for the feedback!

I like the space for the model to look in to. I think it gives the image balance. I also don't think the watermark is too over powering either.

I agree with the skin tones are a little over exposed especially as this shoot was for a MUA. The makeup has been lost a little on her upper cheeks and forehead with the light.
