Got a chance to work with the new but talented model Erica, lots of excellent images in this session! Erica did the hair herself and Josephine Caspari did the makeup. Enjoy!

Excellent light, and I really like you post processing style.

Excellent work, almost a fifties feel about the first image.

PeaceFroggy · 08-06-2014, 07:30 PM

Wonderful photo's. Nice light indeed

Excellent images Don, I do like all of them but the first one would be my favourite.

Capturing the light defines these images. Can't make up my mind which I like best.

nicely done!

DonThomaso · 08-09-2014, 01:07 AM

Thank you for your kind words! The natural light (with a reflector) was perfect, but it was just around sunset so the I had to bump the ISO a bit, luckily still in acceptable range for the K-3

The full set is on flickr with additional pictures like this one. The swirl to the left of the model is without PP, just a perfect combination of foreground and background leaves and a little bit of FA43 magic

Very nice, Don Thomaso. The circular bokeh is very unique! Lovely model, also.

That girl is absolutely statuesque, great captures.

TinaS · 08-09-2014, 11:48 AM

Excellent work - by all parties.

RobG · 08-09-2014, 07:17 PM

The first two shots are brilliant, especially for the quirky poses which lighten the mood.

clintox · 08-09-2014, 10:37 PM

These are so good, was this shoot for her portfolio or something? She would be extremely pleased with the results I would imagine. So good!!!!

DonThomaso · 08-10-2014, 09:43 AM

Thank you for all you nice comments! They where shot as a collaboration for each of our portfolios, me as a photographer, the model (Erica) and the makeup artist (Josephine). I'll be sure to pass on the respective comments
