I have never shot one on one with a model before. This is what happens when I get an idea at 1am in the morning. It happened about 3 weeks ago at 1am...get an idea, messaged someone, 2 weeks later and this happened!

Nice work, Raymond.

Of them all, I think my favourite would be 4... really nice range of shades and composition.

Can I ask what you did to post process these? They seem to have a bit of desaturation / faux cross-processing going on?

One recommendation I would have would be to build a final sharpen into your processing workflow (after resizing to final size/resolution). For me, these are all lacking a bit in definition - particularly around the eyes.
 
Thanks :) My favourite is no.2, or 1 for the colours.

Processing wise, its desaturation mainly and lots of bits of lightroom fiddle. The look I am going for is the hazy dreamy look, one where sharpness isn't key and clarity is set to neutral actually. The original is sharp and it could be sharper still if I bump the clarity up but then it won't go wth the look I am after.
