These are great shots, poilu!!
What is used to light the model? If you weren't holding the reflector, then it must be something else.

P.S. Hasselblad or not, the Planar 1.4/85 holds the scene extremely well.

Only sun in this shot.
I was in the place of the reflector, with the sun in the eyes.
Usualy it is a mistake to shot like that but it seems a easy game for the contax


On this shot, the head of the girl was in the same position. I moved 2 step and try the contax wide open or F2.

How can the sun, which is obviously above and behind her (except that in the last shot), lighten her body so much, without a reflector?
I don't understand this.
Did you push the shadows in RAW processing?

In the last shot, the head and body are exactly in the same position as in the other shots.
You can see it with the shadows of the hairs & mouth, the face have good light.
It must be the greek light Cool

p.s. : I didn't push the shadows, exposure -1 stop, recovery 10, blacks 29 are the only correction for last shot.

To me, she looks more lateral in the last shot.
Anyway, there is an incredible natural bouncing of light. Your friend could do without the reflector!

This was the lightning, same dress, same time. Only exposure corrected.

Poilu, if you go back to the first picture, you see that the contrast is not as harsh as in these last photos you posted.

Anyway, no matter what circumstances, they're damn good shots. Congratulations.

Poilu, she's so attractive. I would "keep the reflector" for her all my life Laughing
The reflector works great and you got very nice shots, my friend!
