Well, still working on learning studio shooting (well, always working on learning, no matter what it is). Lucky enough to have a girlfriend who likes it as much as I do so I always have a willing model
Still just getting to know the Olympus OM-D and the lenses and this is one of the first sessions with it. I haven't done a whole lot of studio shooting at all so comments and critique always welcome.
The editing too is a little bit experimental, a bit faded but warm color in oder to make it look a little bit more film like. Also added some subtle grain.
Unfortunately my apartment is too cluttered and too small (would make a great studio without any furniture though) for full body portraits so nothing but headshots now.
The first two look a little soft especially for the aperture used. They also look like they contain a lot of noise. The lighting also looks a little harsh.

Ops, missed the hair on her lip! Corrected, thanks for the heads up!
Hmmm soft and noise, well, the noise yes it's added grain, wanted it less then "digital perfect". The soft part may be due to JPG compression and web-viewing.
Here's a 100% crop from the first picture but without the added grain. Nothing soft about it IMO but always good to hear from others, looking at different screens and browsers
Agree the lighting is light/bright but still soft though.
Nice set. The only thing I would have done different would have been to use more ambient light so you could have less pupil and more of those beautiful iris. My two pennies.
