These are both tight on the crop btw.

#1 The purplish cast makes her skin look like she has bruises from my monitor(calibrated).

#2 Is a little happier and the white balance is a bit better however I still see a purple cast. The flare is arguable. The background is much busier then then the first shot.

Was this cut from a single picture? I see body parts from the other model on both shots.

i'm still new at the editing, i should probably get my monitor calibrated, no not cut from a single picture just moved the camera to each model didn't notice the body parts

I see, probably a good idea to get your monitor calibrated.

Well editing different colour tones I believe is dependent heavily on the photographers style but I think the minimum requirements of editing is to compliment your model.

If you're new to editing, my recommendation to you is to study WB or White Balance first. It's the very foundation to the colour management of your work. Probably the skeleton and the majority of my post production work is to get it all right and balanced throughout a series. It acts as a base where everything else is built ontop of it - the funky edits come after.

Thank you, yea i've always been partial to the more blue tone of the white balance spectrum, if you will, everytime i shoot and choose a specific WB it always comes out very yellow and warm which isn't bad just like the cooler blue tone.

Hey Manny, a little bit more exposure helped your tones here. Slightly overexposing the skin is a technique to rid of blemishes. I see a better tone on this but can still distinguish the slight colour cast...not bad as this can easily pass for style IMHO.

The tilt is too much for me, gives me vertigo as a viewer. Your model on the left can use maybe 1~2 stops more. I do like their expressions and the fun mood.

Also forgot to mention looks like a low sun light source directly on the model to the right. Maybe use a warm reflector to balance it with your model on the left. If you do use flash, in order to keep the light source consistency...gel it with a CTO and you can easily balance this at a very low flash power.

 

[mannysantoyo]

ok thank you i'll keep that in mind for my next shoot

 

[Jethro]

I like the lighting but background kinda distracts me..thats all I have to say

 

[andrewleephoto]

their lips seem a bit too red but that's probably the monitor calibration problem. Also, for #2, I think you shot into the sun because there is some very noticeable flare. I always shoot away from the sun to avoid this!

All I see are da HOO HOOS ha ha. The first pic has a bunch of bra showing and they've both got a bunch of cleavage showing, not sure if that's where you want your're viewers focus.
