Summilux 50? Did you soften the background ? Background is a collapsible Lastolite, which I vignetted in post. The lens, SL summilux was at minimum focus distance, lighting with a flash through an big umbrella, about 1,2m distance and rather high. She is holding a sunbounce reflector on waist level. this is basically my setup for most of my portraits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My umbrella was too high, leaving a too big shadow under her nose and chin. Should slightly lower it. I think it's fine like this, it helps bring even more attention to the eyes. If you wanted her to come across as strong, that you did!! Very good processing and the grain adds a little texture and further tones her skin. Sometimes "perfect" is just an accidental lighting error. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
