This photo was taken with a fairly cheap Canon 70D back in 2016—oh gosh, almost 10 years ago! Back then, it was quite a challenge to get creative shots; now it only takes a few prompts for AI generators. All the magic here was done by the makeup artist—I just straightened the lines a bit and did some skin retouching. One key light with a softbox and a reflector to lift the shadows. Very simple setup. I uploaded it as stock, and if I remember correctly, it was even used in an Adobe commercial campaign

Creative. I like that.
