Pretty girl.

I don't know if this is the look you are going for, I feel bad that the girl thinks she needs to look like she is getting ready for a pole dance to look beautiful but I know that is the thing to do now....


In #2 it looks like she is playing with herself.

This really isn't my area buuut

In number two have you possibly gone a little too far with her face? Might not just be the editing, but also the rather flat light over her face that is adding to it; but it just looks so alien plastic looking. The eyes certainly look like you've boosted the whites considerably, whilst something is really looking odd around the lips and teeth (lack of shadowing I think is making it look like her lips and teeth are flatter than normal).
She just has that plastic "deer headlights" appearance which I find offputting.

Of course I respect that this might be your intent, but if not maybe some easing off from the facial editing might be in order?

I like only # 3 as it is more natural looking. I could do without the hiking down of the bikini bottom as that cheapens the shot.

Thanks for your input overread its always appreciated.

Here is a crop of her face to show how little the post processing i've done to this image as far as skin smoothing goes. She probably had the straightest/whitest teeth i ever seen, no white was "added"
For the skin smoothing, as you can see, I removed some blemishes locally and removed some highlight she had under her eyes. removed some hair dangling across her face. , added some black to the overall image, pushed the white balance a little bit on the warm side and that's all.

Untouched image.

Nice! You mind saying how you lit #1 and #2?

In number one i used a Vivitar 285HV in a 24X24 camera left and 1 bare vivitar 285hv with a 1/2 CTO gel pointed a model behind her camera right.

in the second picture i used the same setup but moved everything counter clock wise since i took it from another angle.


that's about 400$ worth of lighting equipment
