Beth Kate, and Bella on the sofa. (Patreon)

I shot this after the end of 3 days workshop and was not at my peak: Essentially, the background is too bright, which means the models don’t stand out properly. The screenshot with two images is a before and after in photoshop: Notice that Bellas's face color (or tone value) is almost the same as the background, which is not great.

It took a bit of masking to get the background properly isolated and dimmed down.

On composition, you know I like echoing shapes and lines leading the eye around. At least I wasn’t too tired to make that work.
