Giulia Bianchini - processed with a new piece of software - Evoto. Initial impressions are positive but have only used it on 3 images so far. I think it did a better job on this image than Portraitpro.

Not sure if I've uploaded this before but it warrants reposting. A shot from a TFP project with someone who contacted me on @purpleport.com some years ago. Had an amusing shoot as the studio was also being used by someone as their home and he hadn't been informed that it had been hired out.

1st shot of the day with Elena (elenalee16 on IG) at a Croxley Camera Club fashion outing at Chorleywood House this afternoon. As is usual with me, my lighting tests produce the best images from the shoot!

Ellebeth from a shoot at Studio33 in Barnet, some years ago - had an embarrassing moment during this shoot as I couldn't get my Leica to work with the studio lights. Turned out the flash was working but I had left the lens cap on!

Bit late to respond to this, but there is still over half of 2025 to go. It would be one of @aimmodel.bsky.social that I took in early 2024.
