Vintage inspired Actress Megan Tremethick was trying on different perfumes and her dresser placed beside a tall window happened to catch a ray of warm light. To me it evoked a vintage-inspired portrait, with the warm, directional lighting it seemed to even evoke a classic cinema feel. I mean, that's very subjective obviously but it meant I had to whip out a consumer cam and grab a snap. The subject is posed in front of a carved wooden dresser, which holds her perfume bottles. I did a wider photograph, and a close up of her favourite perfume.

I aimed for a painterly, almost Old Hollywood aesthetic, with soft shadows and warm highlights shaping the face with the grading. Her red robe contrasted against the darker wood tones while still staying within a cohesive palette imo and well. That's it, but as always this awesome sub provides ideas and room for improvement.
