On Monday, I had an opportunity to photograph this charming young lady during an outdoor group photoshoot. My first time working with a model and a single off-camera strobe. Had a great time. C&C encouraged please. (edit: I realize I still need to go into photoshop and clone out some stray hairs)

In the first three, I opted for a desaturated look.

Nice job! they look like they belong in a catalog especially 1-3:D

I'm still very much a big fan of high contrast desaturated look. I know it's a fad, but it looks good.

First 3 does it for me.

There's something I really like about #1. I would darken the darks a bit more, but the expression is great.

Thanks everyone.

Kinajou - i'll try increasing the blacks in #1 and reposting as soon as I get a chance. The sparkle in her eyes and genuine smile is what makes this work for sure. I captured this moment between poses.
