[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Since june I have new "atelier" equipment - two flash lights with umbrelas (present from my family) and now I spend lot of time to make portraits of my family and friends. I am bigginer, I am just learning how to make good lighting. Toady I post photo of my friend Lenka - she is very beautiful and very nice to help me with my training.

post processing in PS:
small ajusments of levels
slightly blured face to soften it
eliptical selection
inverse the selection
copy in new layer
radial gradient
layer opacity change

Very nice portrait,colours and tones.Congrat.

Hi! Martina,

I wanted to do a WS with this portrait to see if it was possible to reduce the strong lighting. I hope it meet with your approval.
If your umbrellas are silver I would advise covering the opening of the umbrella with a diffuser like a large white sheet. This will reduces the harshness of the lights for you and create softer shadows. White umbrellas are better for female portraits and if you can put a light between the sitter and the background to get rid of any shadows. This will also create highlights on the hair.
Good luck Martina!
Mike.
