Saturday Tease

[Nikolai]

Yesterday I had a few gals visiting my studio (good word spreads fast, former customers bring their freinds:-). Here are a few tease frames:

1. The initial idea was about "eyes" so I took a lot of the closeups:

2. Good thing about having a group shoot is that you have a lot of spare hands to assist:

3. Making sure Lori looks her best:

4. Prepping for the "face flower" shot:

5. I played with color lighting a bit (can you tell?;-)

#1, the pores, dry skin/powder thing.. any photoshop magic going to happen? Otherwise, gorgeous.

Well, flying to Voronezh may take you a day or two, but a trip to LA may not be such big of a deal. Just give me a headsup and I'll make sure we have some material we will be able to work with:-), it's always a pleasure to see you! :thumb
