Thank you, Tim! I am glad that you like it!

Had an instructive studio portrait lesson with Ray Bidegain. I missed focus on a bunch of my shots - I need a lot more practice at this! Very different from my normal landscapes.

Luminous exposure, interesting pose. I like it.

I agree. It looks both classic and modern all at once. Your experience with color negative film really shows in the precise exposure and scanning, too.

A friend built me a studio head brace...

Would you show us the brace? I'm thinking of building/buying one and just wondered what your friend made.

I was watching an old Western on TV the other day that featured a photographer of the 1800s. The actor had a stand with head brace as a prop which was a fairly simple "U" shape made of a metal bar stock. Any blacksmith of the era (or today) could make one.

Thanks.

Terry, a friend (in Europe) had one made by a local blacksmith near him. He has a blog post about it with a video that shows the thing pretty well, as he's trying to sell some extras he had made:

This kid was so much better and well behaved. I decided to try a new lighting set up to see how it would play out. I usually have my Bowens Prolite with either a soft box or umbrella. This time I wanted to try something lighter and portable and used the Quantum T2 with an umbrella.
I quickly saw two problems with this. First is not having a modeling light to see what you are doing. I played by the rules but couldn't see exactly were the shadows dropped and whether I had catch lights. Second (and this bums me out more) is her pupils are wide open due to lack of light and she actually has beautiful bright blue eyes.
Anyway:
