I love your comment about not “removing the shadows under the eyes because it tends to make people look like fake plastic dolls”. Do you find that many photographers over edit the face? Do you also not use portraiture?

You mentioned that you sharpen for the web. Would you not recommend sharpening the image that much for print orders?

[...] Were there any special post-processing techniques used on these images that you can share with us? I always keep my processing simple + clean for Senior Portraits. I have an in-depth article about my processing techniques here, http://www.michellemooreblog.com/2010/01/29/skintones/ [...]

Nice Work Michelle!!!! quick question, in ACR adobe, what camera calibration profile do you use? My default would look so much more red than yours!!! I’m jealous! :-)

I love the idea of starting with a ‘flat’ image. I’m trying to recreate the flattening, but not having any luck.

Can someone offer pointers how I can best achieve the flattening?

I love your pictures…I was curious what lens in this picture? and then if you remember, what camera settings you were on….iso, aperture, shutter, white balance? I love how your pictures look super soft but pop at the same time. I’ve been trying to achieve something similar and just can’t get it! Help would be MUCH appreciate. Thank you.

I just found this Q&A on how you get your beautiful skin tones and want to tell you thanks so much for your insights! I was wondering if you would mind telling what goes into the “flattening” action in ACR that you use. Is it mainly just reducing contrast or is there more to it? Thanks again for your awesome blog. You are SUCH an inspiration.
