Hi JJ - thanks :) Lighting was indeed a beauty dish. A small (18") white Elinchrom dish only just out of shot above her and a lastolite Triflector in front to throw some light back in to her chin and around her face. No backlight - just a simple radial gradient in Lightroom. There's a little more post/re-touching on this shot than I'd normally do - that was the kind of look we were after :) Cheers, Nick.

very nice portrait. Would you let me know how you set your lights? I will guess, beauty dish and back light .

BEAUTIFUL PORTRAIT!

Thank you :) The 135 is by far my favourite portrait lens. I only wish I had a room long enough to use it for 3/4 & full length shots! But for headshots - it's ideal. Has that Zeiss magic for colour & skin tone.

Very, Very nice work! Congrat's
