These shots are crisp in detail and color range. I like how you can see her lashes reflecting in the colored part of her eyes.
Nice work. Can you give any advice on a three strobe lighting setup to shoot a model on a couch and eliminate as much shadow as possible? I have 3 inexpensive strobes, a 160 ws with an umbrella and two 100 ws 40" softboxed strobes...

Mikhail... lovely lighting and woman. The catchlights are well placed for a classic lighting scenario. I hope you don't mind that I too take a pass at retouching one of your images. I would also like to use it in my retouching gallery with credits given to you for the shot of course.
Retouching performed:
Level adjustments
Color balance adjustments
2 independent passes of skin smoothing using Noise Ninja™
Blemish removal using healing and clone brushes
Light painting to pull details out of shadows, reduce hot spots on skin and hightlight the brown eyes
High pass sharpening
Saturation boost
Total Time Spent: 15 min.

Can you write an action for photoshop with this technique of retouching?

It's hard to give you credit for these pics because it's hard to take a bad pic of a beautiful girl. :=))

Wonderful lady, good pics.
I like her 3/4 profile quite a bit, and think you should work that more in future shoots (as opposed to shooting primarily square to her face).
Also, the hair in motion is a nice look - try working some more wth her hair. Bring some in on her face/forehead. When she pulls her hair back, as with a headband, her hairline is a smidge higher than average, and combined with her delicate features (nose and chin), this gives her the appearance of having a bit larger forehead - which I don't think is the case. Getting some hair back into the shot at the top of her head may enhance what is already a lovely lady.
Lastly, try shooting tighter. She has absolutely amazing eyes, and like I said above, very delicate features. Play that up. Shoot tight - a composition just an inch or so above the brow line, and 2-4 inches below the chin, in portrait mode. Have her looking off to the side just a bit, or facing off to the side, and looking back into the camera. Anyway, those would be my starting points.

n that first playing a little pic you've gone overboard. You've washed out any character at all.Feb 09, 2008 at 04:22 PM

I hope you don't mind, if so please let me know.
I think the photos work very well and need very small amount of skin work. If you had a MUA then you wouldn't even have to pass it through PS.
here is my contribution, and i think you have a very lovely model to work with.
