Because your inmages look considerbly different from the back of the camera (or tethered computer in this case) to the finish product. Did you show her the photographs during the shoot or only after they had been processed?

Hi Frank, Throughout the shoot, our model was able to see the images as they were being made by reviewing on the laptop during the shoot. Cheers!

6 lights? seems like a lot.
Great result, but a very involved setup. It is beyond me.

I look forward to more tech tips.
