Ok, Im just starting my hand in Portrait Photography as Im usually doing Landscape Photography. So any tips, ideas and comments are always welcome 👍
I've included a sepia style with just leaving my eyes blue to see what it looks like. Any ideas, thoughts on which one you like better would be welcome.
I used a 3 light setup and seeing I was on my own I had to do the self portrait with all the setting up, adjusting of lights then trying to pose in the just the right position ALL by myself LOL
I was trying to go for a Crocodile Dundee feel as Im an Aussie 🇦🇺 I also took another one but I put it in the Headshot Photography Group (IF you are interested to see how that came out) :)
I had the main light source was a Godox TT685N speedlight in a octabox angled down at 45degrees, the 2nd light is another Godo TT685N speedlight in a small soft box angled up to my left just to fill in some of the shadows that was cast by the brim of the hat and to put a bit of a catchment of light into my eyes. The 3rd light was a Yongnuo YN560III speedlight angled up from behind me onto the backdrop (Which are just my grey roller blinds)
Thanks for viewing and any comments & thoughts you may leave 😃
The top shot is better, the bottom looks too gimmicky, your photography is too good to need that.
Thanks for your comment and kind words about my photography Joseph.
I;ve gotta agree with Joseph - the top shot is a killer shot.
Im with you and Joseph :) The top one is the better of the 2 :)
Cool shot. Both look great: the composition, the crop & the whole vibe. Have you thought about converting to black and white? The image is a definite winner, however of the two the top one is a little better.
