Portrait of Karomatilde (Patreon)

I had a great shoot with the wonderful Karomatilde a few days ago. Among other things, we created this beautiful portrait. More to follow in the Premium Tier.

If you wonder about the dreamy/creamy look it's a component of two things:

My Canon Dream lens 50mm f. 0.95 and the light source, which is a Hensel Fresnel Spot positioned as close to the model as possible while being out of the frame. I didn't use the flash on this, just the modeling light as I wanted to keep the aperture wide open, and thus the depth of field as narrow as possible.

I do like to play with bringing the light as close to the model as humanly possible.

I'm a bit undecided on the crop here, which do you prefer?
