I'm trying to understand why when I do headshots and my model changes outfit, her skin color changes in the pictures , I always set the White balance in Auto, any help?

@acapmex1 Look around for 'Custom White Balance' videos - try youtube.com/watch?v=UKhxNP2aBZ­M

Auto White Balance changes as your scene or model changes. The Auto setting is best for easy use and light that changes a lot - like outdoors.

Custom (or DIY) White Balance setting is better when you are in control of the lighting - like in the studio or using flash.

Once you've set the Custom White Balance your model will look correct in each shot.

ReverseTheHype is right. NEVER use auto white balance in the studio, it will always be wrong. Also, the colour temperature of the modelling lights (and the colour temperature of the ambient lighting) is used by the camera to set the white balance, and that will always be very different to the actual colour temperature produced by the flash

Set a custom white balance, or set the actual Kelvin value of the flash if you can, or if you can't just set it to 'flash'.
