Lith Portrait???

I would do a straight lith with much more exposure to smooth the skin tones and dodge the hair to delay the blacks from coming too fast.

I think the graininess emphasizes the extreme contrast between the highlights on her arm and forehead, and the shadows of her hair and shaded side of her face. But I would be interested in seeing this print alongside the treatment that Guillame suggests.

I'm no expert but I wouldn't have guessed this was a lith print, it seems dark.

That aside I really like it so I don't think the process really matters, the result is what matters most.

Thanks, I don't usually think of a portrait type shot being grainy but I do like the grain??? The scan of the negative has a fair amount of grain and the model said she like the grain as well.
