Dang nice work Brooks. I'd love to have a day of lighting lessons from you.

I couldn't be more impressed if I tried. Truly.

Thanks folks. I do it all for you!

Brooks,

I agree with Katie. I didn't notice her "nose" until you pointed it out. My eyes went directly to her eyes. Very nice!

she's got a great nose. why are people so hung up on button noses? i love big noses, crooked noses, the works! her nose is amazing! so are those eyes. Great makeup work there, too.

The woman that did the makeup has been Michael Jackson's makeup artist ever since Thriller. People often cringe when I tell them I use her for makeup sometimes. She is a great makeup artist (and a cool friend). Imagine Michael without her.

Hey Brooks, thanks for stopping by my website and peeking inside my fridge! :-) I am so totally jealous of you that I am going to visit your blog every day and look at these gorgeous pictures.

Every minute of each day I dream about becoming a photographer. I also have a photoblog if you'd like to give me some advice or constructive (good or bad comments).

Anyway, bookmarked, now I can go to sleep! I think the "big nose" gives this photo a lot of character. Better than a cute button nose that would look fake ;-)

Great Eyes

She looks almost exactly like my mother. To the point that it is uncanny... But truly a beautiful shot. People need to realize that there are more types of beauty than just the one they are accustomed to.

If it's a problem with the nose, why not increase your distance from the subject and use a longer lens? That will make the nose perspectively smaller.

In a way, the model is lucky; I know ex-models who, when their agency told them to smallify their nose or else, decided to quit modeling. (One of them became a schoolteacher, and learned to apply makeup to make herself UGLY, so she didn't turn on her boys every day...)

By the way:

Your compositional and color skills are really terrific! -- But sometime I'd like a "raw", non-PhotoShopped pic to see the difference.
