I had a lovely morning today at the beach with Fon getting some portraits with my Nikon ZF and 3 different lenses;
Nikkon 135mm F2.0 AIS
Nikkon 55mm 1.2 pre AI
Leica M 90mm F2.0 Summicron APO
It was a fantastic morning, we got loads of keepers, none of them are what you might call tack sharp but that's not the look we are looking for.......they were all shot wide open except for the Nikkor 55:1.2 that was stopped down to 1.8ish
These are all generally nice images. There are a few details that need to be addressed, however, like adjusting the position of the necklace in the first one and minor adjustments to stray hair(s) in most of the rest. In the one with the black and white suit, her hand(s) need to be doing something...perhaps pulling on or playing with the string(s) on the bikini bottom? All those type things are "through the viewfinder" corrections....perhaps something to consider next time out....or not. One post production thing that I might consider addressing on one image in particular would be the specular highlight(s) on the back of her left thigh in the one with her facing away from the camera.

Thanks for the feedback Larry......we will take those thoughts to our next photoshoot and continue to try and keep improving. The specular highlights is actually sand..........I had actually brushed off a lot of sand prior to taking the shot but obviously missed that area.........they were in my face in post but something said just leave them there as we were at the beach and its sand..........once again thanks again for the feedback
Again a most beautiful, classy, sultry young woman! Very shapely also! I believe her skin tones are very appropriate for a Thai woman!
You did her proud!
