Lovely model and lighting. it could be me (or my crazy tastes) but the eyes seem soft.
Either way. Great job

This is very nice. I like the pose, model and overall look of the photo - nicely done.

Hi Paul Thanks for the tip, I am still very new to Nik and had never though of doing it that way. I normally set up the sliders then brush it on where i need it, but you way seems a little easier. I will give it a go

Thanks Chris

We really should try to meet up - Birmingham is only 50 mins from MK we have lots of shoots going on with TF models right now

Lovely shot of a wonderful model. I do agree that it is perhaps a tad soft in parts of the face. I love the dynamic skin softener filter but I always put removal control points on the eyes and shrink the circles right down and normally one on the tip of the nose too, again pulled right back in. If too much skin texture comes back, I add some additive control points adjacent to the removal zones to put it back.

Apologies if you are already a Nik master but I find get to lean more tricks with those marvellous tools by the day.

I suppose you were too distracted by the model and her underwear to spell underwear correctly. :-) Or is that how they spell it in the UK?

good implied nude with a beautiful model. I would remove the love heart tattoo. Also perhaps you should have got her to bring a skin coloured bra as the peach colour is coming though the hair

Very sexy....she is a beautiful model, and you did great with these images of her.

Lady Godiva! You have certainly made someone who was no doubt already off-the-chart beautiful -- off the chart sensational! Wow!

Hi Wendy

Lighting set up using two 60cm soft boxes at 45degrees on either side to the front (although I cloned out one of the catch lights in the eye)
Black background

Editing was pretty straight forward

Heal any skin imperfections using the heal brush, then applied very light dusting of Nik Tools dynamic skin softener 5% on all three settings
Pump the eyes with dodge and burn + selective sharpening
Added contrast to the under ware
Dodge and burn to the hair
Then a bit of Nik tools glamour glow brushed onto the hair and skin to give the bronzed soft feel

I really am just learning as I go 6 months ago lutchenko and I didn't know what a studio light looked like, but there are so many online free tutorials that help with the steep learning curve.

Hope this helps

I'd clone out that writing across her body, it's a bit distracting :)

Very nice! I'm curious about your lighting setup.

Also, the big question, did you use a soft focus filter, did you photoshop it? It's very soft and smooth and I'm wondering how you acheived that. (I'm just learning lighting/indoor portraiture, so I need the basics...)

This is drop dead gorgeous!! The only flaw I can see if that her forehead is pretty splotchy - but she has a rockin body and this is beautiful!!
