Headshot C&C

So recently, I've been using studio strobes out on location, and I'm liking the outcome. I just wanted to know what others thought of these. Thanks!

I am really liking the last one. great shot. I normally don't like the "lighter" bright kinda of shots...but this one is really good. Thanks for sharing

after further looking, I wonder if maybe an edit is called for the bit of fold under the armpit area on that last one. It's a great photo as stated, but I just wonder if that would help it.

I tend to agree, but since it's so close to the hair, I'm not sure how to go about doing it. Every time I try it looks strange.

I'm not that great editing people yet, my noob senses would send me to the stamp and heal tools alternately until I made it go away and look right. zoom in super close, work even at 1 px if thats what it calls for to not affect the hair.

your headings don't say if its ok to edit your pics...mind if I practice on it?

I think I surprised myself. Didn't come out half bad.

At first I was cloning and healing, but it just wasn't coming out right. Then I though..."well...rather than go around the hair and make it dissapear, why not cover it with hair" so i went that route. Had to rebuild some strands to try to make it look natural.

pretty hard edit...for me...but great learning tool.
