Great work Emily, but.... (You KNOW I have to add a 'but') I WISH her jacket wasn't black; a deep, dark, rich blue or red would have made these shots that much beter.

I can totally see that!

However, I was out one day poppin' tags, looking for a cropped jacket come up, and this was the best thing I found.

However, I agree that if it were blue or black it probably would have rocked!!

Nice work. I have zero problem with a lil cheek fuzz: it counteracts sweetly with the tough grrrl thing she has going on. Good call on your part.

Looks like you both had fun!

Reminds me of madonna from the 80's.

Oh my, how the little girl has grown! I remember some of your earlier shots on TPF, and this is... adult-level skill set. Well done. You've been obviously honing the craft. Thanks for taking us along on your journey. And would you mind sharing the behind-the-scenes technical stuff?

Haha, fun. I don't know Madonna from the 80's but I'll take your word for it. :sillysmi:

Aww thanks. :sillysmi:


And no, I don't mind sharing at all, as long as you keep in mind that I am pulling this from memory (except the camera settigns which are in LR, haha), and that this shoot was over 2 months ago.

So this one was sort of a fluke because I was super tired that day and not thinking.

My ISO was 800, full body shots were done at 28mm, aperture was f/5.6 and I was at 1/125th. For the shots in the other thread (Amy K.) I did, my ISO was much lower because I had everything set to knock out all the ambient light in the room. For this one it was one of those things where I was looking at the LCD and not quite sure why it looked "different" than it did when I shot Amy's sessions even though the set-ups were similar, and I didn't figure it out until I saw the stats in LR and I went, "Ohhhhh. Duh."

I had a little more ambient light leaking in than I did for Amy's shoot, haha.

That being said, I had an Apollo softbox to the left of Emily with my flash probably set about 1/8th power and I had it 4-5 feet from her pointing down at maybe slightly less than 45 degree angle? Maybe it was closer to a 45 degree angle

I CANNOT... for the life of me remember if I had a fill umbrella to the right. I KNOW I had one for Amy, but I think I recall leaving it out for Emily because I wanted an "edgier" look for her. I'm like... 90% positive I was only using the softbox for her... which was probably, at the time, a direct result of some of the ambient leaking in and servign as a "fill" in and of itself, which is probably why I decided I didn't like hte added flash because it was *too* bright.

(Whoa run-on. Sorry. I'm tired. It's late... and I've had a few, haha).

I mean, other than light reflecting off the paper, that's all that there was to that. Nothing super complex or genius about it.

Throw on some post processing... spent a lot of time figuring out how to get the B&W look I wanted. Even with what I have posted, it's close but it's STILL... not... quite there. And I spent some time getting the "desaturated" look that some of the images have. Once I got them down, I actually made actions of them both, so I didn't have ot spend so much time on the rest of hte images, haha. Just click a button, make some minor adjustments... ta-da!

Wow, great shots! How did you light these? I spy 1 (maybe 2 or a reflector..?) softbox(es) with a grid?

Thanks!

I explained it in more detail in the post above, but I used a Wescott Apollo soft box to the left of the camera

I'm 90% certain that I don't use a fill umbrella for this one. I get this mixed up with Amy's shoot, but I think for Amy's I did and this one was just the softbox cause I wanted an edgier look. :sillysmi:
