I like the original version, if she was 19 when the images was shot. Her youth shines in the original interpretation. To me, the sepia treatment contradicts the reality worth cherishing.
Indeed, red or orange filtering (respectively) are also a way to "rejuvenate the skin", and to make traces of efforts or glassmarks disappear. The yound lady was still young (28, not 19) at the time. The other treatment was to show a more "realistic" view, noting that the film emulation also brought some optimization. And I'll never post the color original; after the physical ffort, the pics look like expressionist painting, not my style.
Bottom line, Erik is right but a reflector would be easier to carry than a soft box. But where do I get an assistent? and how to cope with a subject who leaves me ten seconds for a shoot, rather than five minutes like Olivier's daughter ? that's a mean life
