Makeup shoot...

[jdear]

Hey guys,
Havent posted any images in a while, here is some from a recent makeup shoot I was commissioned for...










All shots shot with an off-camera Canon 550ex speedlight shooting through a 46" Photek Softlighter II umbrella, trigger by an on-camera 580ex speedlight and a 38" 5in1 Lastolite silver reflector. Occasionally I used a 2nd 550ex speedlight.


There is a few more on my blog.

Thanks for looking!

Jonathan - #1 and #2 are excellent, representing makeup.

#3 - looks as if she is desperate to go to the loo

I'm impressed with the technical quality of the last image. It is outstanding and the boke is just gorgious! Nice!

i like them all, though the 3rd one has a slightly distracting background on the left, and her pose is a little.... forced?

[marcotrov]

I agree with Matt. The last one is superb.
cheers

Here's my crits..uninformed as usual

#1...nice

#2...that brown blobby thing on her left shoulder which is pressing into her face dosen't work for me...I presume it is a makeup brush...but its distracting from an otherwise beautiful shot

#3...her right hand..don't like...not what I'd want to dominate the foreground on a beauty shot. Not sure about the background either.

Overall the model's facial expression appears a liitle "distant" to me. Methinks the "Ice Queen" look.

#1 : Really like it!
#2 : The red around her eyes (I'm a bloke... not sure what the makeup is called!) is a bit distracting
#3 : The pose does look a little uncomfortable...
#4 : The pose is a bit at odds with the dress, but it's a great shot.

Cool stuff!
