I shot these yesterday, for a mom who wanted some shots of her daughter. She was very shy but opened up as we progressed. She was game for everything, and a delightful young lady. I can see that if you don't open the download they are a bit fuzzy. CC welcome, as always. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! It was such a fun shoot. I had never met this girl and was really impressed with her poise.

Beautiful shots, Cynthia! I love the poised and sensitive feel of number one.

Very good captures.

Love her beautifully long tousled tresses... albeit dark hair against a dark background?
Have you considered the merits of using a hair light "kicker"?

Thank you for sharing OriginalCyn

Yes, for sure after I did this shoot I considered a kicker. I don’t have a 3rd light but considering buying one. Thank you for your thoughts!

My favorite also is the first. Such a beautiful image! I know it goes against photography guidelines, but I like the dark subdued look without a hair light. This is a wonderful image although if I would change one thing I would push the separate strand of hair up a little so it didn't cross her mouth and open up her face even more.

Fantastic. Love the lighting, the pose and the background. Well done. The hair over the face is a little iffy, but glad I'm not the one deciding if it works or not. I think it does, or I wouldn't love the photo.:-)
