Spanish lady at "The Blue Room"

Can i ask what the reasoning was behind shooting so dark. looking at your other stuff its clear your brilliant at taking photos but for me that image looks like the flash was to far away. shes a stunning model and a bit more light would of made her look even more fantastic. regards Adam

Hi @dmbrkmn, I really appreciate your comment and concern. Now one of the reason why the image is so moody is that with the time, as anyone progresses trough their career/craft, I started to push towards more edgy lighting/looks etc. Another reason is that I have retouched the image quite late in the night, was tired, also I have it saved as 16bit TIFF file and there are some issues with the online platforms the images are uploaded to. For example - you can see how different the images are displayed on a different platforms, FB being the worst so far. https://www.facebook.com/mirchevphotography/ Instagram looks ok. https://www.instagram.com/mirchevphoto/ 500px - for some reason displays the images very red. https://500px.com/mirchevphotography And purple port: http://purpleport.com/portfolio/nikolay/image/2666692/photographer/?referrer=nikolay http://purpleport.com/portfolio/nikolay/image/2666695/photographer/ By the way - I just opened the file right now and, actually, I can brighten her face a bit ;)

Thanks @dmbrkmn - amd yes it is part of being good photographer to keep your eyes, wide, open for people, or locations, with potential ;)
