I have been shooting a fair bit of fashion lately.
Yet I caught myself that I, despite also being something of a make up artist, had neglected doing any specific beauty shooting as a part of it.
Also I was getting swept along in the \'rat race\' of \'best\' camera, sharpest lens, watt/seconds etc.
So the other day I, following the request of a model for some studio shots, decided to shoot the way I basically did 30 years ago
A simple 1000W tungsten light bounced in a silver umbrella, silver reflection screen on the right as fill in, grey paper back ground, Nikon 1.4/85mm AF D.
Only compromise as far as the camera was concerned, so no Nikon F2AS and Kodak Ektachrome EPJ, but a Nikon DF (although the \'mere\' 16 megapixel for some disqualifies it as a professional\'s choice)
f3,5 at 1/159th exposure + 1/3 processed with Nikon Capture NX 2.4.6, no Photoshop, special \'protrait software\' etc
