Thanks Mike! I like the film look, but also contrasty.. tend to fine tune on previous attempts

Originally posted by mcgregni Really good contrasty light, and the subject stands out nicely from the background. They all look great! I would like to know a bit about the light modifers and positioning please ....
Thanks! I unfortunately didn't get behind the scenes shots for this session.. but I think 120 cm octabox as main light at camera right and from top. 80x120 cm softboxes for rim light and a speedlight with gel on the background. This is something I use a lot, but of course small changes in positioning, flash power and subject can make a lot of difference.

Originally posted by beholder3 Image #1 is nice, but the contrast of the redish face versus the yellowish arms makes me wonder if there was a weird face make-up color at work.
The skin colors simply dont seem to match.
I have evened it out a bit actually, it was a larger difference "as shot". I've been shooting portraiture for 5 years now, and some people will have cold hands, low blood circulation etc. that will affect color of skin tones.. but I think for this session we were laughing quite a bit which will make the head more red apparently
Had it been more high-fashion I might have put more time into it, but now I feel like it was more a fun session for me and Hannah
