Three's a charm!
syntheticdaisy came to my rescue today, filling at the last minute after two cancellations. We had great fun, and I was really in the mode to shoot this weekend, so I'm glad I had someone to work with.
Robert had ordered a new ring-softbox for the studio, and it arrived, so I tried it out. I love it. It's an octagonal softbox with a hole in the middle that you can shoot the camera through, so you can get those wonderful round highlights right around the pupils of the eyes.
I didn't get a chance to filter through or work on them yet, but here's one... Over-exposed (on purpose, really), over-saturated, but looking pretty sweet...
