It was actually an Idea floated by a makeup artist, Shiree Collier. When she told me she had a crimper and a model with a lot of hair - I was all in.Editing
Yes - standard processing, levels, curves, skin retouch.In my camera bag
I have many. Nikon, Sony, and Sigma. I am partial to the older D series Nikon lenses. Yes, they are noisy and sometimes slow, but the results are worth it. But I have to say, the new Sigma Art series lenses impress me, I own a couple of those now.Feedback
I caught lightning in a bottle on this one. It was meant to be a test shot, Roxie, (the model) was preoccupied with something else and I caught her in a natural pose. There wasn't a single shot after this one worth looking at. Today, I start every session the same way - "Relax, just taking a couple of test shots here." You'd be surprised how many good ones you get!
