Striking images, Thomas. At first I was a little uncomfortable with the Gothic motif....

Then I closed in on the face, beyond the hair and hands, and WOW!

Many thanks for the glowing compliments Jimmy T they are indeed greatly appreciated...
And like most other crafts... practice... lots of applied practice and assisting other commercial shooters in my market has been my path... seems to be a common denominator for many of my colleagues within the industry...

All the best on your journey Jimmy T...

Thomas, I especially love the lack of over processing the images. It's nice to actually see texture in the skin.

I also love the light, and attention to all the details with hand position, etc.

Thank you so much for your very kind words bkyser... although this was a team effort, much credit goes to other members of the collaborative...

btw, this talent was agency so post processing skin smoothing is verboten... i.e forbidden... ignoring this will likely result in an end of access to the agency's "New Faces" board for testing... likewise if the talent significantly alters their hair length or color they will need to get imagery that reflects same for their agency... When a client books an agency model for an assignment they need to arrive on set looking exactly as "advertised"... hope this makes sense...
