One from Friends "boudior" shoot

[ababysean]

I can't share many, but I'm sure this one is fine, but I am wondering if her skin looks natural? She has a bit of adult acne on her face/cheek area and I'm trying to smooth it without looking plasticyish.....

Thanks guys!

It's not too bad. Maybe just a little too much, but if her acne is bad you gotta do what you gotta do.

Since she has broader shoulders the angle doesn't work in her favor. Exposing more of the front will be a better approach perhaps, or giving more distance between the lens and subject.

 

[ababysean]

I agree about the angle, but it was one of the only ones safe for viewing.

 

[Davor]

if your good with photoshop, you can edit that

 

[ababysean]

well... I already took a bit off her back and arms and face... she is not a little girl...

Eyes seem overdone to me.

Skin looks natural. Looks good. This is a rather odd crop on the bustline...just not a flattering way to crop off the bottom of the bustline...

 

[ababysean]

crop on the bustline makes it ok to post... if you know what I mean. I had to crop it there...

and ZOMG on the skinny girl.. gah!

 

[Davor]

The magic of photoshop... and the power to blackmail lol

 

[ababysean]

one more in BW....

Can I get some opinion on the conversion? Does it look muddy to you?

This is cropped so tight because her shirt is open and I don't want to post her business all over But the lighting is the same down below as well....

 

[Davor]

That's much better, the angle works more for her facial complexion and shoulders, the B/W is more apealing as well. Great post and photo.

The b/w shot really works for me.
Excellent natural looking shot.

ok so I just showed her the proofing gallery, and she didnt choose this picture! I love it! I think it is one of the best of her face from the set! She did choose the first one I posted, in color and bw.

Weird how clients view themselves compared to what we as photogs see.
