Experimenting in my studio yesterday, goofing off and messing with Exposure and Shutter Speed and then messing around in post-processing.

Well done. I love the sepia(ish) processing.

Thanks, I can't remember which one this was but I downloaded all the presets for lightroom that DPS was having a special on during the holidays. I really love playing with them when I am just experimenting, for portraits and landscapes (and sometimes wildlife).

Playing with light to create a more dramatic portrait. Black and white to enhance the mood. Shot using a single flash off camera right through a 7" gridded reflector with barn doors.

I really like this portrait, but the catch lights are odd for the lighting. What was your set up if I can ask.

Primary light , obviosly was camera right..aprox 45 degrees righ 45 degrees above

that was a 360ii streaklight.. camera right side.. was an led continous light very subtle.. tho without it my entire right side would have been pretty dark.. whiel i wanted it to be dark i didnt want completly blacked out

I figured it was your fill. My pale skin doesn't allow for that much fill to get that bright of a catch light from the fill. Nice work.

While waiting for my model to prepare I jumped into the scene ..... Last year when i was young at 46
