i've been working on mastering the amy dresser technique of retouching.... this is my first real attempt at using it. it's pretty different than my usual technique. i can see how using it aggressively could result in some really fake looking images.... but i usually lean toward the less-retouched, more textured results, so i think i should be allright.
this shot was taken with a 42" shoot-through umbrella providing light for alisia's face. the background is the front of my medium sized alien bee softbox. i just set it up and kept taking test shots, increasing the power each time until the background was snapping to white. it didn't take long.
anyways. i'm pretty happy with the results here. alisia looks great, and the snap-to-white background is quick and easy to do. done and done.
