All 3 are taken with a AD360II in a Jenie Beauty box as key light and either a Purple or Orange gel on a SB900 as background fill/back/rim

Thank you very much.
Yes, there is post processing involved.
Removal of minor skin blemishes via frequency seperation, Colour grading using a plugin and Portraiture

Thanks for sharing. What was focal length? I assume the one at the bottom of light diagram is window.

Good work with frequency separation. You have maintained enough details while removing other blemishes.

Great.

Wow! Such a lovely lady as the model and these were excellent Portraits.
On my monitor, in 1st pic face and her hand looks a bit over-exposed.

Excellent portraits.
Very nice, natural expression on the model. Do compliment her, please.

Couple of observations -

Portrait 1 has a bit too much distraction happening on the left side. IMO, this looks better if cropped square till just her right elbow. Just an upper body portrait, if you get what I mean.

Portrait 2 could have avoided that dark panel on the left side, but is otherwise perfect.

Portrait 3 is just perfect. :)

Very nice!

I love that you have the skin looking like skin. Proper portraits! :)

Really nice.

Not casual by any stretch of the imagination!
