Looks like Manny Ortiz' style. If that was the intention, you nailed it. There are so many ways of treating skin, and none is necessarily "the best", it all depends on your intention, if it looks like you (and/or the model) wanted it to look, then you reached the golden standard.
Thank you for the feedback. Honestly I have seen one or two brief lighting tutorials from him on youtube but haven't seen his images. That is encouraging...will definitely take a look. Perhaps this is the case of it being a popular style of editing he uses that just rubbed off on me from many sources, IG etc. I haven't found my own style just yet either.
This was one where I tried a little dodge and burn first aid because the facial highlights were a bit wrong (again, lighting properly would have helped). Reshaped the color patterns under the skin to emulate somewhat proper lighting. But based on a prior comment, wasn't sure if the skin was overdone or not. Sometimes when you are deep into it and have been looking at it for a while, it is hard to step back and evaluate without someone else taking a look. So again, I appreciate the feedback.
- he goes for warm, saturated (but not overdone) colors
- he uses a "glamour glow" effect on the skin
- he keeps a hearty dose of contrast between highlights and shadows as to imprint a strong tridimensionality to the face
