Giulia Bianchini - processed with a new piece of software - Evoto. Initial impressions are positive but have only used it on 3 images so far. I think it did a better job on this image than Portraitpro. Giulia is an Italian model from Venice, currently on tour in the UK.

Gemma relaxing by the Thames on a small private island. The dog walkers on the other bank nearly lost control of their pooches. Also known as Miss Diamond Sparkles.

Not sure if I've uploaded this before but it warrants reposting. A shot from a TFP project with someone who contacted me on @purpleport.com some years ago. Had an amusing shoot as the studio was also being used by someone as their home and he hadn't been informed that it had been hired out.
