Gabriella, photo by Harold Davis.

I think this shot of Gabriella was a little too bright and contrasty because the soft box was dialed up too much and a bit too close to her face—on the right side of the image you see here. But looking at the RAW file, I liked the way this high key portrait showed the lines in her face, making it almost like a mask. So I processed the photo to emphasize this effect, essentially desaturating it then adding back in selective color in the eyes, lips, a bit of blush on her cheek, and some color in the hair line. One more take on virtual, digital make-up!
