Nice stuff Pham thanks for the setup shot as well it is good to see it in practice. I think the comment about number 5 cloning is actually a resizing issue that appeared at teh smaller size. Great work as usual.

Hey Pham.
Is that an Octobox on the boom, or is that your PLM with the white front diffuser and black outer cover on it ? Thanks.

Nice work as usual. Thanks for the setup info and boom link. I like how some users post setups. It really helps and gives us more ideas for better shooting.

she is quite tan of a young lady.. i could turn her color down a bit as well.. i do like the bluesish grey look on photos.. like magazine like advertisements..

i will play around with them some more and see if can get cool outputs..

thanks queen

i am going to have to check it out, i just smoothed her forehead lines.. is that what you are talking about?

here is the 100 crop..

QUOTED IMAGE

and the no edit photo.. she does have next to perfect skin.. lucky her !

QUOTED IMAGE

Great work as always phamster I took a quick shot at an edit of the 100% of her forehead the one you did does look a little blurred in the wrinkle areas I would suggest using curves layers and masks to fix that kind of thing.

Also how do you like the Westcott boom is it pretty stable?

Waaaaaayyyy to much skin for a head and shoulders image. When I looked at the first six images all I saw was a head swimming in a sea of skin. Impact is where it is at in a head shot. While I'm at it the lopped off fingers of her right hand look bad, and she rolled her shoulders forward in nearly ever shot which is distracting and looks odd.

Very nice shots. IMO, I would fill in some shadows opposite of your key light next time. It will smooth things out a bit on her skin.

Excellent work pham..I will have to use my boom more now that I have a studio space :D

I find it such a pain to set up the alien bee version. So cheaply made and put together I half wonder if its going to fall apart on me and have everything crashing down..so I stopped using it so much.

What type of umbrella are you using in those shots...? The one with the boom stand... Thanks Pham.. I love to see how your lighting is... It's a really huge help!
