The UK summer heat wave is now finally over and we're back to more seasonal rain and flooding :) Just prior, had a great time recently at the London Film and Comic Con. Some great and talented artists on display, along with many TV and film star favourites.
Spent some considerable time recently, studying various techniques on the web, to best set up D|S shaders and lighting for more realistic skin rendering. Here's a first result, using Second Circle's excellent free HDRI lighting set, and some modified spotlights. Some ways to go yet, so some postwork still required to get the final effect. Way behind on comments again, so many apologies, and hope to catch up with all soon.

Fantastic photoreal portrait! Love the lighting and the skin shaders - beautiful work! 5++
very good portrait rather nice looking skin tones ive spent a lot of time lately trying to master lighting in DAZ studio though not for skin tones
Nice work!
It's those lips, her eyes and that slight skin texture that sells the render. Onward and upward! Nice job!!!
