stephanie is new to modeling.  she's fun to work with and with time will gain some confidence behind the camera.  it's intimidating!  that's why i'm on the other side of the camera.  lol.  samantha of illustrious day spa did her make-up.  hair by ms. kelly.  i love the feathers.  the gloves were samantha's grandmother's and we were very careful with them.  this photo was shot in the stairwell over at CDIA.  my favorite hallway in the whole world, for sure.  there are huge windows and beautiful old hammered metal walls.  if that makes sense....

for stephanie's retouch, i removed the hair that was falling across her shoulder/neck.  i smoothed her neck and skin.  elongated her fingers and slimmed her hand.  it's not like she had a big hand, but the camera angle distorted it.  i punched up the color in her make-up and brightened her eyes.  enjoy!
