Heida, you've outdone yourself again. The lighting just falls over you like a beautiful silk sheet.
I only have one issue with your second image. I wish your hand in the air wasn't cropped at the fingers, but the way you are almost flowing with the edge of the print is wonderful.

I LOVE the 2nd one! However, they are all beautiful!
Could you describe your lighting set-up as well as your post-processing techniques? I love the smooth texture of #2 - how did you achieve that?
You've outdone yourself once again :-D
Thanks for the info, Heida! |

Thanks guys!
I used two light on both sides from above
And more power from the left light
And then I used also a reflector on the third one
And the second one To get the softness I duplicated the layer applied a lot of gaussian blur and then I changed the blur layers mode to soft light

It's got to be hard to do self portraits ... especially when lighting plays such an important part. These are outstanding.
For me... I love #2 the most. I would have liked to see the hands, but the angles, the curves, the softness in the texture all work well together.

Súper. Great work, dodging and burning? Soft layer really works out!

Wow! I like the lighting and the smoothness of the photos. Black & white is perfect for this. Guys watch out, Heida is branching into portraits..soon all the challenges will be hers! LOL

Everyone's already said it. Love the lighting, gives a wonderful soft and smooth light. Also would prefer it hand weren't cropped out on second image.
Beautiful work!

I've never been a fan of high key shots. But very nice indeed.
The first set are bang on.
Elegant, graceful images. Beautiful lighting and..........
beautiful subject.

I've only tried one high key shot ... (well, okay, I've tried others unsuccessfully) Yours turned out great.
