This is simply stunning, love how Hannahs seems to see right into you knowing your inner thoughts. Wonderfully processed Celia. A fav for its pure quality and light and feelings i get. : )
Squealia replied
Thanking you Karen, I also used a crossed processing which they showed in my photo mag, I have to say I liked the effect, it’s adjusting the red and blue channels in curves!
Clive

Hannah is so photogenic…she makes a great model! This image potrays the innocense of her beauty! How did you get such a beautiful white balance?
Squealia replied
Thank you. I used cross processing, then blended 2 layers one screen to whiten it up. Then I added white layers of cloth, blendeing etc etc etc etc and masking out her blue t-shirt and the chair she was sitting in!
