Thanks all! I appreciate the comments.

A few mentioned the 'hot' tones and some slight oversaturation/overexposure...that actually was intentional in this set (I was trying to push my personal boundaries a little). I ended up trying to get a particular slide-film look with the strong colors.

In number 8 she actually was laughing a little

As for 9, I just processed it rather cool (low color temp in LR) and added a very slight duotone at the end (warm highlights, cool shadows). I also [obviously] overexposed it a fair bit.

She's a good friend and a blast to work with, so I'm glad we were able get some of these.

I love them! 8 then 5! Not a huge fan of the PP on the last one, but that is probably a personal preference, and the photo itself is fab! I also really enjoy the PP on 1!

Some of the PP is over the top for me, but good job overall

Beautiful work.

My favorite is #3. Would you be willing to share what you did to it?

Understandable

Thanks though!

synthesist:

Thanks, I appreciate it! I believe (if I remember right) it was a simple black and white conversion that I tweaked with to get the right combination of skin/lip/hair tone. From there I just added a light vignette and grain. The shifted focus is [unfortunately] also simulated, wish I had a T/S at the time. For that I forget what method I used...probably a few layers of box or lens blur.

Well done, I think they're fabulous! Don't like 7, and 9 might be overcooked, but it's a nice set.

Thanks, Sara!

As for 5 and 6...I honestly don't remember, haha. I know I did a little skin smoothing, and brought out her eyes a tiny bit. The first one (number 5) has a vintage-y duotone on it (warm highlights and cool shadows). They were lit by a medium softbox above and behind her slightly, which helped.

Ope, sorry izanaki. Didn't even see that.

I think for these I used either a 24-70L, an 85 1.8, or a 70-200L (for the last few).
