Wonderful portraits, as always, Colin!

One question: what do you think of the strong shadows under the dress (right lower corner) on second image? I am sure it was easy to take care of them with the lighting equipments you have but you left it there.

I am asking because I have only one flash and usually get that kind of shadow and I remember someone commented on that before here.

Thanks,

Alis

I think you're looking at the black bra strap which - if so - is DEFINATELY best left there!

Pretty hard with just 1 light. In the studio there's no ambient light in the exposure, so the various lighting planes have to be built for each look. In the case of the 2nd photo I was working no less than 4 zones of light (4 lights, 1 reflector) (which is pretty minimal - sometimes it's 6 or 7).

Oops! Completely agree considering #3 Thanks!
