    Title: ‘The Girl with Pearls’
    Camera: Canon 5dMk4
    Lens: Tamron 70 – 200mm
    Details: 1/200 sec at f8.0, ISO 250
    Flash: Main – Godox AD600BM camera left, Fill – Godox TT685 speedlight camera right.
    Originally shot for colour, magenta on one side of the face with a blue fill light, I felt it could also work as a dramatic black and white.

    • Without delving into a comprehensive photo critique focusing on expression and skin retouching…

      I’d like to offer a tip: Your subject’s pupils appear rather large, making the irises look too small. Next time, ensure you use a strong modeling lamp on your key light, or position a small LED light on a stand next to you. This will help dilate the pupils and ensure maximum iris visibility.

      • Really useful tip. Thanks Danie. Regarding skin etc. I was going for a harsh dramatic feel but I think I over cooked the harshness of the lighting leading to all sorts of problems in post loosing mid tones.
