Challenge: Before And After Self Portrait (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Fujifilm X-E2
Lens: Fujifilm XF 18-55mm f/2.8-4 OIS
Location: midwest city OK
Date: Nov 17, 2014
Aperture: 14.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1
Date Uploaded: Nov 17, 2014

 The one on the left was shot into my softbox with the strobe going off. The one on the right was the softbox with just the modeling lamp.

I 'pushed' both exposures up in camera RAW, and from there it was just levels and curves and convert to B&W - luckily didn't have to do any spot editing. I did have to rotate the second one a bit and scale it because the photo was more zoomed in. Working on a white canvas makes it easier.

Had a hard time deciding whether or not to put a border up, and eventually decided on this quite prominent one, I feel like it better shows the end of each photo and beginning of the next.
