Did you boost the clarity? I’m going to learn and improve my editing. But believe me, her skin is white, which I think it’s actually stunning, but I find it more difficult to get proper exposure/white balance on people with light or darker skin. The reason why it looks different in the book store, is a combination of the light, the way I shot, and the editing. I tried to correct the skin tone so it looked less red or yellow or something like that. It’s so hard to be unbiased and properly critical towards your own work. I find that photographers are better and critiquing other’s work than their own.

Haha, and so true with the grain. Same with the light leak trend I have seen lately!
