Yet another of Megan in her wedding hat....well,it used to be my Mum's 
I used a very different method of processing,lots of desaturation, some soft focus layers too & no textures either !!
It works for me,albeit it will take me some time to get used to it.
One I shall commit to the printer I think on some nice thick matt paper....maybe
One softbox & the silver side of the triflector opposite.
Well it's different guys...your thoughts would be most welcome.
Thanks as always for dropping by.

Thanks all.
Good point Nick,I did want her skin to look rather flat I think is the word I'm looking for,almost featureless but with features if you get my drift.It is a process I can mess with,loads of layers as you can imagine & always difficult to know where & when to stop....if at all
The look I'm trying to get is that of a porcelain doll but with skin

I watched a you tube video with that recently, if I can remember what it's called I will send you a link. Keep up the idea it's working just needs fine tuning.
Meant to say I like the new lighter look to the images
The result is beautiful.
Being a redhead the natural route for me would be to go for a gold filter
being an 'autumn' myself.
You can see the brown of the hat has been cooled down along with her hair.
However with the pearls the cooling effect seems to work with her lovely skin.
I suppose you could say this is heading for a 'high key' look which is truly lovely.

Cheeky !
No Portrait Pro was used,so they can't have it for the advert anyroadup 
Pretty tones in the mod John,I'm not overly keen on the square crop but everyone sees things differently...thankgoodness.
