[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I wanted to focus on the beautiful face of Bea for this shot. She has this certain aura of mystery when I met her for the photoshoot. I was also impressed by her strong and deep character. These were the traits I wanted to capture on film (or pixels for this matter!).

But with lack of a creative mind, I struggled throughout the shoot! This, of course, was coupled by the fact that it was my first time to use strobes.

And so I turn to Photoshop. LOL!

In PP: I adjusted levels, smoothened the skin, multiplied blending, and sharpened. :)

Comments please! :)

Beautiful portrait Pierre. Well cropped, good expression. A bit to much PP for me...

Hi Pierre,

Beautiful capture and nice tight crop

Very effective

Chris

Hi Pierre,

Nicely captured, good lighting.
Abit heavy on the plastic/smooth face, the light on the nose and at the line of the nose can be toned down to reduce the brightness as it is where the eye goes. Her whites of the eyes can be lightened ABIT. ;)
Nice work.

Mike

Lovely portrait!

Have a great day!
Carla

Nice shot the model looks fatastic, maybe a tad too heavy on the multiply blend, i'd be tempted to lower the opacitywith that, but a great shot all the same!

abaaaaaaaaaaa!!! getting better and better ahhh well done bro! cropping and PP are excellent! :D keep it up! :D

hi, pierre! wow, this is beautiful... the model is very pretty and the lights is very good... but i think you over did the smoothen thing... use spot healing and reduce the hardness....
congratulations!

francis

Great shot ! magical ! The model is wonderfull ! I like your frame and the quality of the pic !
Thank for sharing ! kisanlov
Myriam

very sexy and mysterious...beautiful model, however i think the smoothing and pp is a little overwhelming, its better to see some of the skin texture to give a more au naturel feel:) thanks for sharing this beautiful portrait.

Congrats Pierre. You did a wonderful job here. You were able to bring out from the model the character you found in her. I was also impressed by the pp you did. TFS.

Konie

hello Pierre!
exellent shot!very mysterious!great capture! I really like this photo! TFS

Composition, light, sharpness and colour are fantastic. Bea is an exceptional model, she's beautiful but also has mesmerising expressions, her eyes carry great depth. I do think the post-processing was over-done, I'm a fan of keeping it very subtle, but this is only my opinion.
Great work

Amazing portrait work Pierre! Congratulations!

How Beautiful Pierre. Coulours and the subject are stunning.

I like this one the best in your series, sir. Would be nice to see this as a magazine cover. Just a tad too blurry in the nose, but the red lips gets more of my attention.

Haaay, kainggit naman ng mga shots mo.

Pierre,

The light on the nose could be reduced to avoid reflex. This can be accomplished on PS. Composition and colors are great. You capture her character indeed,
