A black-and-white outdoor portrait with a softly blurred background and a natural, understated look. The subject is centered in the frame, with off-camera lighting used to gently shape the face and add subtle contrast. Shot on a Sony A7II with an 85mm f/1.8 lens, lit with a Godox AD600B and Westcott Rapidbox XXL softbox, and converted to black and white in Lightroom using my Charcoal preset.
