I love how the blue lighting plays along her body and hair.

Very nicely done Rodney...you have the eyes lit perfectly. I think the hair to the left could be lit a bit more to contrast it against the background like it is on the right side. The pose is wonderful...wisely you didn't allow her hand to smush in her face. Nice job :clap:

Thank you so much for the fave and the insight. The eyes were what made me want to shoot Mary in the first place (don't get me wrong, the rest of her is great too!) Yeah, this was one of those shots where I didn't realize the lighting wasn't perfect until I got it on the screen. We shot on a stage in a black box theater so almost all lighting was overhead. I used a single fixed light (frame right) to equalize the shadows, but neglected to consider the washout on the left. Live and learn, I guess :)

Well yes she has beautiful eyes...but they could have been "loss" if attention to lighting wasn't applied. Added bonus are the catchlights in them...brings them to life. If lighting equipment is not available...a plain piece of white cardboard can be used to bounce light into frame where you want it. The perfect light for this would have been a backlight close to the floor pointing up. Hey we all are learning as we go...no matter how seasoned one may be...there is always more to learn.

Agreed, and thank you. All tips are welcome... and advice too ;)

I have never really (intentionally) worked with bouncing light. Conceptually I understand, but I have trouble envisioning where I need extra light. I know it should be common sense simple (duh, light the darkside, but I have trouble instinctively knowing how much light I want. This shot is a perfect example. I wanted the left side to "bleed into darkness", but you are correct - I lost detail in the process. Finding that balance between what I see in my head, what I see with my eyes, and what I see when I hit the shutter don't always align.

This is one advantage digital cameras have over film. In the "old days" we had to use a Polaroid film back to see what the results would be and then make the necessary adjustments before taking the final shots. But now, thankfully, we sort of have built in Polaroids.
