Helen

[Rudi]

Here is a portrait of Helen. Same model as with the glamour portraits, she liked this one as her formal portrait. Shot on the same day as the glamour shoot.

Nicely done! I like the darker background around her head. Didn't realize it was blinds at first!

[Harv]

Very nicely done, Rudi. I like the DOF on this shot and the way the composition draws me right to her eyes.

I like the pose on this one, Rudi. Looks like natural light. Did you use reflectors?

[Jonathan]

Excellent the pose and gaze are top notch!

[Rudi]

Thanks everyone! :)

Didn't ned to use a reflector (although I had one with me), since the room has windows on three out of four walls, and venetian blinds all around. So all I did was adjust the blinds the way I wanted them, and shoot away! Wish it was always that easy!

Very nice pose, expression and light. One suggestion - her right bare arm is too bright and broad relative to the rest of the image. I tried a tighter crop cutting off the outer 1/2 of her arm and I think it looks better. Could post an example if you wish. Nice shot overall.

Good over all lighting, but you can see the left side has a little more light than the right. I would use a smoother background or try ajusting the F stop.
