Ok so now you've won the blue...Congrats! And, spill! Or puff in this case! I'm guessing the big round object in before is like papier mache, and a ton o' baby powder/talc tossed over you for the after?

Also where'd you shoot? Looks like PNW.

Though not an overly huge fan of the 'poreless perfection' school (witness pics of Julia Roberts, who is at least my age if not older) still skin-smoothed to her Pretty Woman days in Cover Girl ads.

If nothing else I want to learn HOW to do this, even if I end up rarely using it.

Anyhoo Congrats on the red, and I'd like my tut written, please! :-)

Ok Sam, I hope you're ready for the flood of requests on how to do this...so I hope you're ready! If I'd known just a fraction of what you and Christophe know, I wouldn't have to fall back on stuff like high-key to make me look half as good :-)

Sooo...tut, please! ASAP!! And grats on the new job, hope it's better than the old one.

Christophe, I always love reading your notes and following the thought processes that result in great images like this. Can't believe your wife still has the time and energy to help out so much, good for her! :-)

Oh yes and congrats on the red :-)

Love those Highland cattle - very shagadelic :-) Love the ice and textures. Great finish too, you should be proud!

Wow, so rare to see a shot of a polar bear here...let alone one in the wild and not in a zoo. Huge congrats on the new PB and blue!

As always, Christophe, your creativity is just outstanding. Love the cat - they earn another handful of kitty treats! - and the ballerina is just spectacular. Amazing that you just made her out of thin air (well and a metal bar :-) Congrats on the red!
