Cara

Classic portrait of Cara Salter. This is one of my personal favorites. It’s a by-the-book shot, but it came out looking great nonetheless. The depth of field contributed well and the soft, natural light was perfect. Skin softening, contrast, and colors edited in Photoshop.

    Interesting how much "older" (and I use that term subjectively) she looks in this shot compared to your others of her.

    great technical shot - the color is perfect - I do have a question about why her hair is so red at the tips and a dullish brown on the crown?
