[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
My friend wanted a Glamour oriented shot that was not overly revealing, still she wanted to be seen as feminine.
2 Soft lights on the background, 2 lights thru a diffuser on our left with a distant reflector on our right.

Steven, I am no portrait photographer, if fact not much of any kind of photographer, but your photo has a distraction that takes away from the young lady-your subject. I think it is the light background. It grabs most of your attention rather that looking at the subject-the young lady. I would think a darker background may improve the picture.

Anyway, just my two cents worth.

Hi Steven,

Have you tried cutting her out and putting her on a black background? With her complexion and hair, it would be an awesome shot. I'll give you some points.

I like the lighting. Also the interaction between white, red and black in their own little area of 1/3rds.

Personally I would have a plain frame as the dual red/black looks a little gaudy to me and detracts from the actual photograph..

The 645 AFD - is that a digi back? I'm not too familiar with MF cameras..
