Harsh sunlight moody portrait

Hi guys!

In this photo I went for a dramatic, and somewhat a filmic look. Still I think there is something missing. I raised the blacks to give a washed out look, I also kept the highlights on my face and reduced it in the background to make the focus on the subject.

Please share your ideas on what can be improved or changed.

I agree with you.It is too washed out for me . Harsh sunlight almost blowing out on the temple. I suspect you wanted a warmer temperature but the overall tint is not right.

Paige's booth portrait

Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.
