Alright, may be a strech; its my first time professionally strobing a human subject. Sure I shot my dog (test subject) and products but never strobed a person. I wanted rim light badly but only had 2 cybersyncs so one was master and the other was fill at the typical 45 degree angles.

Enough photo jargon, tell me what you guys think. I know, I am terrible when the model says "how do i pose." Total face-palm.

They have a bit of a yellow boost to me. But that could be my monitor, unless someone else sees it. Nice like kodachrome. Skin could use some healing brush if you have it.

Gah! I could have saved the images with the flawed ICC profile. Let me see if I can fix that, thanks for the quick reply.

not your monitor either.. i have the yellow boost in the grassy shot..

nice work.. crops are strange on some of them but still nice expressions..

good lighting on some, some too hot.. flat looking.. needs some shadows..

I noticed the yellow boost too, it seems when I save my images the colors tend to get distorted and gets hotter. I am on mac OSX using Photoshop CS3 What gives.

#1 looks pretty 'natural,' but the others appear obviously flashed. It's gotta be tough getting the right amt of ambient vs flash to give everything in the shot a natural light look.

If this was your first time, very nice! Your subject appeared to be into what you were doing. That always helps!
