@mfohl@macfred@bsdunek@jtk Thanks for the comments. Still working out the DIY lighting in my make shift studio, keeping it simple with some back lighting, a make shift soft box up high and a strong uv tanning lamp up front reflecting back from a umbrella reflector. Wish I had more space. Will do a few more with this set up and then probably print on some nice warm fiber paper for a classic look. Real prints always look better than scanned print, LF gives you great depth.
Yes Andreas, hope yours is more patient than mine, but it teaches you to think fast. She was just showing off her new scarf she bought, then I thought she would make a great Gypsy, quickly whipped up some props. She was getting impatient, so didnt quite get the pose I wanted, but turned out ok anyhow. Working my way up to portraits similar to your avatar.
