You know, I shot a dark skinned man recently, and was irritated that my light sources seemed to bounce off his shaven head. I kept wanting to fix it in photoshop and ultimately decided not to keep several otherwise good images. Today, I pick up the November '03 issue of Men's Fitness (WHY was it lying on my office floor? WHO KNOWS) and see on the cover just about everything that annoyed my about MY images. Isn't that just the sh*t!!

As for tips, the only thing I did when shooting this model was to overexpose by a teeny bit, probably only because it seemed the thing to do, not because it's what I'd read or been told. Not sure if the exposure is dead on, but both he and I like what we got so... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
