Please don't smile..

From a practical evening shooting with studio lights at my photography club.

So many models think they have to bring out the big smiles.. It seems I end up liking the non-smiling shots better.. feel more natural in the end.

 

Strobist: Small strobe in softbox camera right shooting 45 degrees to the model very close to her face. I honestly don't know where those two catchlights in her right eye (left one to you!) came from.. maybe a couple of bulbs in the ceiling that show up but didn't affect the lighting. Hmmm

 

Oh, and I hate that you can see my elbow in the softbox.. haha.. attention to details matter!

 

Wanted to get a high key look (using screen mode in PS CS4) but one that had a bit more color other than b&w. A bit of dodging and burning applied and of course slight sharpening.
