Youthful Glow

Youthful Glow

Uploaded: August 16, 2010

Description

A friend asked me to do some portraits of his daughter, so we did a whole series of both indoor and outdoor portraits. This is obviously one of the indoor images using studio strobes.

I desaturated the image but kept the eyes and lips in color; applied Dave Beaman's Ethereal Glow PS action at 30% in separate layer.

Canon 100 macro with Nikon Soft 1 Filter, F11, 1/160 sec; Main light White-Lightning Zap 1600 in 22 inch white beauty dish with diffusion sock; fill light White-Lightning Zap 1000 bare bulb

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

I like this, Robert...Nice studio work and love the softness....I also like the lips and eyes with the B&W! I have a white lighting studio light, but it won't flash when I take the pictures. Any thoughts of what I might be doing wrong? Thanks! #1298846

Thanks for the comments. Have another shoot this week with her and with my daughter, so you will be seeing more people images.

Carla ... if you don't have it, Dave Beaman's ethereal glow is a free photoshop action that you can download from:
