Alaina ~ Senior Pastel Beauty
Senior Madness is coming to an end. but what i have learned from this senior season is to stay in communications with the parents and plan the photo orders accordingly..
i recently have stay awake till 2 AM each night for about 5 days in a row to keep up with the late orders and going to normal work @ 8a.m. makes for a long day..
but also this photo is representation of new editing techniques that i am teaching my self..
1. skin retouch (Alaina has great skin to begin with)
2. high pass and erase what area's are not needed in the high pass
3. made my own action for the silverish white over layer that makes
the dreamy effect..
4. eye retouching... colors and brightness..
if i had more time i would do this for all the shots.. but as you know that will take forever..
lighting was single 580 EXII in a westcott softbox, boomed by her mother triggered by radio poppers @ 1/4 power with 1/ CTO GEL

good work, if you blur the skin, you have to put some texture back into it afterward, or it will look fake and or plastic
