Awesome and to the point, I usually point the flash to the ceiling but I’ve always loved the look of direct. It can be pretty tricky!

[@moritzneuschwander]

Is there a way to avoid white patches in the subjects face when doing this? Or is it just the makeup?

[@TomCalton]

Not really as it's very hard, direct light. Good makeup will certainly help, or you could always remove it in Photoshop. I hope this helps!

@@TomCalton Thank you! :)

[@christophfischer972]

Thx!

Have you any editing tips to achieve this finish?

[@TomCalton]

In a nutshell, add lots of contrast, without blowing out the highlights too much and then crunch the blacks a little to wash them out. I hope that makes sense!

@@TomCalton perfect, I appreciate the quick reply
