Re overlit lower face, now that you mention it, yeah. It could do with
an ACR gradient to level that off a stop or so.
Trouble was the height of the window and angle of the sun forced us to
tilt the reflector slightly upward to catch the light. The light looked
even across her face at the time. It's curious how exaggerated the
difference can become in the actual shot. Something *else* to pay
attention to next time.
I made so many errors during this shoot I totally lost track! :) But it
was a great learning experience.
Thank you for your comments, Bob.

Bruce,
It seems to me that the bottom of her face in the 1st shot is overlit.
Promotes a kind of 'flashlight under the chin scarry look'.
I like the 2nd shot with the white background.
The Gazanias are great, a marvelous composition and big impact image.
Regards, Bob S.

My brother-in-law's sister recently agreed to model for me, and we spent a
very pleasant afternoon this past Saturday in her lovely home. I enlisted my
own sister as assistant. Teresa has been working out body building so after
doing some traditional portraiture, I had her pose with weights.
These are shot using mostly window light (big bay windows), aided by a 40"
reflector (Photobasics 5-in-1 [a great deal, btw]). In the portrait with
black turtleneck I also added a hairlight: a gridded AF-540FGZ on a stand
behind to her right.

Bonus! Gazanias. Christine commented favourably on these ...
