Here's a few more Shuri pics. It was fun this evening trying to shoot her while the sun couldn't make it's mind up so the light was all over the place but I managed to grab a few of my lovely Wakandan gal...

One more of Shuri, looking quite self confident in the conservatory this evening...

Taking these pics of Shuri yesterday was a bit of a challenge as the sun was all over the place but it did make for a few more dramatic pics. Usually it's tricky with her skin tone, especially with harsh light but with the sun low and my shutter at 1/1000 I managed to tease out a few shots like the one below, although the last 2 were taken with my mobile which did a half decent job considering the tricky lighting.

She looks so good.

Thanks! I'm inclined to agree!

Old thread, I know, but Shuri is so lovely! Is her skin color the cocoa shade?

Hi and thanks! Yes she is indeed cocoa but at the darker end of that particular skin tone although you can get darker still. She looks her best in certain lighting with a lower colour temp, so evening sun or soft LED lights work well.

Thanks for the reply! Can you elaborate what you mean when you say "darker end of that tone?" Is that a custom requested cocoa skin color or something?

Hi again, you can actually ask via your vendor to go lighter or darker with cocoa as it probably has more variations than any other skin tone due to the variables at play when tpe is being coloured. I have 3 cocoa gals here, Isabella was a request I made for a lighter cocoa and the factory got it spot on. Anissa is probably the default cocoa now available and she is lighter than Shuri. Let me get a few pics in a composite to show you what I mean.

Here we go, this should give you an idea of the variations in skin tone of my 3 cocoa gals...

Very interesting! Can you tell me Who your vendor is or how you can request the tone? Just use the order notes or something? My vender of preference is RLSD and it looks like there aren't

Yeah when I ordered Isabella through a vendor in the UK they asked me to send a few pics of what I wanted which they then sent on to the factory who did their best to match what I was after (a South American look). I think they nailed it but it's not an exact science. I'm sure if you were to ask RLSD to do something similar they would oblige you.

Thanks a bunch for your helpful info, as always!

Beautiful shots, you could do your own ebony thread!

'Arthur has been a bit neglectful of me these past few months. I know he misses me as he often comes over to give me a hug but he's been busy with a whole bunch of new gals turning up. Yesterday I managed to catch his eye and remind him of why I'm special so he's now promised to do some new pics and has even ordered me a new outfit! In the meantime this is me chilling on the bed, after he took this pic he slipped me into one of those all in one body stockings which can mean only one thing! I don't mind as I like the attention, at last! He says I look hot in the body stocking so maybe I can get him to take some pics tomorrow'
