I was thinking about that whole Breznier thing. For the amount of trouble and time it takes, you might as well use a medium format camera, send the film in then sit back and relax while some lab dude does the work.

I think the freckle ones are good modeling portfolio material because they show what she looks like normally. I was doing a shoot the other day and the model mentioned to me that agencies don't like over-photoshopped photos and that often when a model is up for consideration, they'll do a test shoot with the agencies' own photographer just to be sure because there can be some real doozies with regards to photoshop vs real life.

Here's a shot with the Canon 135mm f/2.8 soft focus. It's largely untouched except for white balance and contrast tweaks. This is at f/4. In hindsight I probably should have upped it to f/5.6 or something as I feel the soft focus effect is a bit strong. The main upshot of the lens is that you get a soft blur in the photo, especially in the background, but the in-focus parts retain detail. If you're wondering what the white vertical lines in the background are, those are rain drops. It was a nasty day. The lens was originally a marriage of convenience for me because I needed a telephoto and this was available cheap. In the last year or two, I've seen prices for the lens double or more because it has gone from a largely forgotten lens to something people actually want. It's one of the trickiest EOS lenses I've ever used though and it demands a ton of chimping shots before you get what you want because so many things affect the quality of the soft focus. It's also a very flattering lens for people with skin blemishes and could potentially save time and money spent on a makeup artist and post-processing depending on the style of shot. The more I use the lens, the more I want to get an old 5DMkI to use with it because it kind of sucks for convenience when using it on a crop sensor.

Too much haloing around the subjects, unless said subjects are Jesus or whatever.
