black and white self-portrait in a studio setting. I used hooded lighting and a Canon R5 w/RF24-70mm lens. I also used Adobe Photoshop for some post-processing touch-ups. I filled a time slot that became available to me and so I thought: "Why not try a Selfie...?" It was also the first beard that I ever grew after all the years but now it's gone. I shaved it off. I just needed some proof for myself that I could grow a white beard.
