Description
Well I picked Pin-Up as the section, since we were doing retro hair, makeup, and clothing.Model: ~fraulein-larissa
Hair: Me
Makeup: ~fraulein-larissa
Location: DeLand, FL
Some people wonder why I create "free art", or do portraits for no reason at all. The truth is that it's the only thing that makes me feel like me. Everything else in life feels like it's for somebody or something else. Photography is the only thing that feels like it's mine

Brilliant! Definately has a vintage air to it. 1940s?

Something like that. I was going for the 50's pomp hair and a sort of Casablanca trenchcoat feel

Burn, baby, burn!!

I hardly use the burn tool because it makes skin look dead. Maybe curves or levels or another exposure of the RAW file. I just don't feel like messing with it

Select the area with the elliptical marquee tool set at a fairly high feather and lower curves. Or yea, don't mess with it

Wonderful photo. Looks like it would have been taken right around WWII.
