Thannks so muchfor your encouragement. I am grateful.Decent lighting. With better posing, these would be very good. Keep up the progress!
Thanks too. I actually allowed some of the wrinkle on purpose. But i will try that nextI think if you bring the lights in closer you could eliminate some of the excess specularity on the skin, and moving the background farther back (and using a larger aperture) will render it less sharply focused the make the wrinkles less noticeable. Given your equipment however, very good!
I didnt do much in post production. I only use portraiture plugin in Photoshop to soften it a little. Is even less than normal but i can see what you are pointing at. I Will take not of it. ThanksYou make good progress, man! I´m with Derrel and tirediron. The only thing I disagree is the specularity on the skin. I like the soft light and getting the lights further away from the model will make it harder. In some images, I think it also adds some life to the people. But if you don´t want that, you could use special makeup powder to reduce it.
The images look a little overdone in post production though, especially the arms in the first one.
Is that portraitPro? Sometimes this plugin does soften the skin a little too much - of course, that is a question of your taste, but the images of the better-known professionals usually don´t look that soft.I didnt do much in post production.

If you want to dial the effect back a little, here´s a small tip:
- before you use portraitPro, duplicate your layer and use the plugin on that duplicate
- Once you are finished the plugin, you can create a mask for that portraitPro layer.
- Now you can paint away the effect of the plugin with a black brush where you feel the effect is too strong
- If you use the brush with 100% opacity, the complete effect is removed. If you paint with a lower opacity, the effect will only be removed partially.
Waoh... Thanks for the info.In all your shots I can see the detail in the background. In my opinion you should edit it out, as it can be a little distracting.
The posing could of course be improved, but what bothers me probably the most is the way you compose your portraits. You leave too much space above person's head. For me personally tighter crops work better.
Thanks... Am test running my mini studio. I've not done any paid job yet. For the wrinkles on the background, i will attend to it. What i need to know is what to add or subtract from my shooting and evenone has done Justice to it.In all your shots I can see the detail in the background.
