WOW! What a great smile! Your model really knows how to work her expressions for the camera. It appears very genuine and wholesome. It's a little washed out in B/W (not sure what color would be like), but I think you could remedy that by turning up the contrast a bit - perhaps even adding a layer of gaussian blur at about 75% transparency. (Just a new trick that I learned recently that adds a LOT to photos - sorry if it seems elementary, but I'm not very facile with MS Digital Image Suite yet.) |
This one is where I actually had my friend Amy making faces to make Irene laugh to get the nice smile. ^_^ I really like the capturing their natural expression if I can. I did want to play with the Contrast some more, in both color and B&W, but a) I loose detail in several places (i.e. hair & teeth) b) the highlights became really bright (especially her teeth) and c) once again, I'm chicken. Heh, I'm really conservative generally when it comes to contrast so that showed in this one I guess. I've come to kind of like the tone in this one though... In color I can mess with the contrast more without worrying as much... |
