Trevor,

Thanks for your comments.

Some data from my last submission was left in with this one. This is definitely not an iPhone photo but photographed with a Canon 5D.

I'd be happy to talk about lighting white any time!

Lea

all will be well

The contrast is a little heavy too. Maybe a curves adjustment is in order here? I wish the trees on the left weren't there, but oh well. A nice, relaxing image.

The centralized comp, with an absence of foreground (other than what's on the right), makes me wonder what impressed you so much about the subject. Sorry, I just feel left wondering what I should be looking for here.

First, amazing capture of the smile...and everything else seems to be perfect as well, save the depth of field issue on the right...but it's an iPhone. I am always impressed by how you work with white. I remember you entering a white chair image you had indicated you use to practice lighting with. I just got some studio lights, and as soon as I have my umbrellas (the Paul C. Buff PLM umbrellas are STILL on backorder) I'll pick your brain about this. Now, the fact that you used a phone camera for a studio capture is impressive, almost to the point where it could be a marketing item for Apple...although, I've never gotten the impression they try to sell their product with its camera.
