 Natural Light portrait.

Model: Karla Reily
Makeup: KGlaM

This shot was from the series - "Candy Store" as a part of the CNY Modeling Meetup group. It's a great group in the area and I have been learning a lot. While this shot was taken in between shoots, we usually work with a complete light setup under the guidance of photographer Bob Jones.

Thank you for the great comments. I am thrilled this helped me increase my ribbon count :)

Congrats on your red, Vikas. Excellent shot and lovely model. Only thing bothering me is the reflection in her eye; you need some professional lighting equipment :)

I think the eye lashes would have been enough without the stuff on her mouth. My eye is torn between them. Still, perfectly focused and executed. 7
