The Wife headshot

Do you you think this looks o.k. ? I ran it through Lightroom and adjusted a bit. I had a gold umbrella on her left side and a AB800 for main light with an apollo softbox.

I looked at the first one and maybe it was overshopped here is the out of camera.

sorry the color just looks all wrong to me and the skin looks very patchey yellow in places .

Besides the color issues. The light is a litte too strong. The photo needs some contrast but if you up the contrast you are goint to blow out the highlights. She is a very attractive woman. I would re-shoot.

I concur with the others... For interest, there should be some shadow--not necessarily strong, but any shadow helps to define the shape of the subject.

OK I will this was just a quick shot, I will shoot more tonight after the game.
Thanks for your comments.

try it with a single light first, and then add a second if you think you need it. Also, I would shoot in the portrait orientation for this sort of shot.

ok thanks will do..

Colours aside, I don't think its a hugely flattering pose.

But I said I would re-shoot a day ago, so I got the idea it was not great.

Anyways here is one from the re-shoot...

one more... they don't look that great compressed - oh well.

Looks like a great improvement too Nice one!
