Is it just me or do these images look to be photoshopped?
Especially the third one. It looks like its been cut and pasted onto the backdrop and someones head was pasted onto that girls body. The lights and shadows on the subject dont seem to match lighting situation.
Hehe. Now this is a sensitive territory. It is either you are a purist or you are not.
The girl is not cut and paste onto the background. This is called subject isolation by wider aperture. (it is actually not easy to cut and paste onto a background - you could try yourself. If you could do that very well, that is a legendary skill to have and truely a master himself/herself)
She seems to glow because a large lastolite reflector providing some fill light - basic stuff for outdoor protraits
Then tweaking with skin blemishes is courtesy for most beautiful ladies unless they believe in natural ageing process.
BTW, all the images are shot in JPEGS and little photoshop work are needed - only inner glow and auto leveling!!
