Challenge: Color Studio Portrait III (Basic Editing)

Lens: Canon EF 50mm f1.2L
Location: Akranes, Iceland
Date: Sep 30, 2008
Aperture: f/16
ISO: 100

Date Uploaded: Sep 30, 2008

These days I'm building a house and that's pretty much consumes all my time. I promised my DPC team to participate this week but had not time for shooting all week so I decided to take my strobes with me to my house construction site and set up a studio for a self-portrait. My face really needs advanced editing though :-P

Editing is a blend of basic Lightroom adjustments, Curves, Shadow/Highligt, USM and Color Balance in Photoshop.

Great warm lighting and back lighting. I love the textured background as well.

Very fitting of a lifestyle photo. Only complaint is you could maybe use a tad more light on the left side of his face to get rid of the shadow under his brow on that side, but that's nitpicking. Really like the backdrop too.

You may want to get the site council to correct the spelling of your title.
That aside, interesting pseudo-environmental portait. Nice lighting and good sharpness.

I know this isn't about the photo, but did you mistype intentionally? Although the subject isn't very "grabbing", I love the colors in this portrait!
