Yeah she is kinda cute... the tats are only ickle, but I aint a big fan of girls with tats...
Anyways I shot her for another webmaster I know... anyone who wants to promote the site she will appear on, which as a ton of other hot girls sign up...
what camera are you using and what more are you shooting at?
Hmmm not massivly techie but here goes... Canon Eos 10D... shooting on a f4... 250 speed... with flash white balance as I am shooting with Elinchrome 600S lights... set at 106 (what ever that is !) using one light with a full length soft box, and bouncing the light off the ceiling... also a normal room light on, not sure if that would influence anything... as I say walls are magnolia...

and try shooting at 100 speed... i think you should be fine with it... if too slow, then go with 400...
when you're shooting her, zoom on her face and focus, then zoom out and snap pic... and meter a midpoint(between dark and light) off of her for lighting.... this way her face will be in focus... alot of ur shots her face is blurry..
keep a spot light close to her, and flash strong from far and light up the back and front... white sheets on the floor where light would bounce will help also

Here'e number 40 for you Steve. Nice looking pics. I found out in Vegas that lighting is the secret to getting the best looking shots. Good info here for all of use beginners. Thanks
Hit me up anytime to talk business or photography. I'm just an old 35mm guy trying to learn the nuances of the digital cameras. Still using the Canon Elf but the photos are getting better. Time to upgrade for show photos though.
have model hold a standard color chart (macbeth, jobo, etc) in a shot including her skin, this gives you a color referent so you can batch correct.
use an "average shooting distance" to make these shots and bracket the exposures one stop up and one stop down in 1/3 stop incremements (because incorrect exposure will affect WB with under exposure usually running yellow with most cameras).
if you are working on manual using strobes as you change distance you must constantly tweak f/stop to keep your exposures in a very tight range so you can batch correct WB.
