 This is an image I created for a model headed to CMTC. It is to be used for her commercial print contest.

I shot an elinchrome through my white background, which I essentially used as a huge scrim. The light coming right at her comes from a custom large metal lightbox fitted with an AlienBee 1600.

Editing is pretty simple, most of it was done right in ACR. I pushed the warmth and enhanced the vintage feel using split toning. Finally, I dodged and burned and Photoshop, nothing else.

Hello from the critique club...

I love this shot... It definitely has that vintage feel. It's right out of the 50's 60's. I don't like that her hand is cut off though. I do think that takes away from the overall shot. Happy shooting.

Great add of the 60s. Too bad that her index is cut, but really nice

I wish her hand wasn't cut off but apart from that it's really great.

Have no idea why this image appeals to me. But, it does, so have an 8.

Really cool shot! The only thing is that I wish her face was a bit sharper and that her whole hand was in the picture.

good vintage? style shot. lighting a little uneven on the model's neck and cheek and a bit of a yellow cast on everything. Still nice though
