I am in a chronic black and white phase right now but I forced myself to try to use color again. I love the way this turned out. It is kind of a classic for me, but I really pushed myself during this shoot to step outside my comfort zones. I lit this with direct sunlight coming from behind her and a small flash with umbrella lighting her face.

the color and tones on this are absolutely exceptional.how do you get that gorgeous desaturated but still vibrant feel? ive been trying forever
I am not entirely sure. She is very pale so that helped because her skin tone was in a good range for this kind of look. I never actually desaturated much with this photo, I just adjusted the color balance so it maintained color in her clothing and background.
Lovely model. Good detail in things that should be detailed. Maybe a little too smooth on the skin for my taste, unless of course she really has flawless skin. . Shooting into the sun was an interesting choice. I actually like it and the resulting lens flairs. Nice photo. Thanks.
