Lets see some photos with great catchlights.

NO STUDIO FLASH or FLASH of any kind

if you use a reflector, you have to hold it yourself.

Most of my work uses some sort of artificial light. But this one happened to use an open garage door.

Hey John, excellent skin tones, just wondering, did you use a gold reflector or is it just the sunset hue?

No reflector at all. Just a soft ambient light coming through a garage door at about 1pm in the afternoon during the middle of summer. Makes for a nice soft light. On a larger res you can see a truck and a house across the street reflected in her eyes.

The skin tone is...asian. It is what it is, and it's lovely. Jasmine's skin is a dream to process. I play a lot with the color channels in curves to get skin tones the way I like them.

Yep, I have photographed many asians, can't beat their "Porcelain" look.
So, where is the warm color cast coming from?

Nice image, and yes, the colors of the image are nice and her skin is nice too.

I'm out of this competition though, I haven't shot anything outside my studio for a long time, and if I do shoot outdoors I often use my flash off camera to add catchlights.

Color balance. I warmed it up just a bit.

Jkleb: Lovely model, the skin tones are lush and of course the lighting is one of those magical things that one gets once in a while. I like shooting in natural light around a half hour before sundown when there is a lot of illuminated particulate matter in the atmosphere. It can make really old people look vibrant! Very nice image, eyes look so soft and alive.

The sky is the catch light.

Only window light. Smiley Doggie catchlights count, right? Grin

Cool effect, most would think it a bit harsh for a kid but I like it...
(which might not be a good thing) [grin]

Corey, what you have there is a modified butterfly lighting pattern, look under his nose.  That is some seriously good glamour lighting, look at how the shadow on his cheek contours his face.
(Sorry glamour is what I know, lol)

I'll remember to move my kitchen table and do my next glamour shot under that light. Big Grin

Bob, its harsh because it was of my first couple of shots in this cereal eating series. And as it is with me, often my first couple are the best and the dial isnt right yet.  Sad So I had to pull up the curves major. But I like the look of it.
thanks for your input guys.
