What do you think about this B&W edit of a portrait of my wife shot in last October just minutes before went to a party? I shot this with my old Weltblick 135mm F1.8 lens at F1.8. I made a light setup with two strobes and one reflector. The main light had a 90cm (3ft) octa and the hair light probably had a 10 degree grid. I used only modeling lights, not the actual strobe units since I wanted to test the old lens wide open.
Post processing was done with Capture One Pro 9. At the time I did quite minimal adjustments, but ended up doing some more editing and this B&W conversion today with Alien Skin Exposure X.
C&C welcome as always!
Hi Mika.
Well done portrait, you captured a smile in eyes! I know its hard when use old manual lens! Have you used a tripod?
Did you try to use just one monolight w/umbrella behind you lit bit on right/left side?
Best,
