Thanks Dave

 

[Brian Moore]

Lovely on a number of levels. That last portrait in particular is amazingly sharp and beautiful.

 

[Dave Green]

Super stuff

 

[Peter McCullough]

Stunning Bobby...!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

#3 for me - super lighting, love the large single catchlight in the eyes and the gloss on the lipstick

How much retouching do you typically do on skin to smooth everything out?

 

[Ralph Thornton]

Agree with Chris. Love #3. But all of them are quite stunning. I'd also like to know a little more about your post processing.

I don/t do a lot in post. Basic color correction, blemish removal whiten and brighten eyes and teeth and a portraiture layer at about 30-40% opacity for skin smoothing
