These are the first set of photographs i took in the studio. I am not very happy with them for a number of reasons. Firstly the body paint looked white on camera and didn't reflect the light in the way i wanted it to. Also i did not meter the lights correctly, meaning my photographs looked too dark. As a result the photos have been heavily edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
I used two lights, one to the left hand side of the model, with a snoot, and the second behind the model with a honeycomb. In front of the model i used a reflector therefore there is not enough light on the model's face, making her eye's look dead (no catch lights).
The shadows have been brightened on all of these photos, also screen and blur filters were used.
In the last 3 photos i have used mirror card to create the effect in the background, I quite like this effect and will use it next time. I am also happy with the composition of some of these shots, I feel i may be leaning more towards the beauty photography in my research. I used a macro lens for these photos and i will definitely use one again to capture detail of the model's skin.
