Nikon D200
Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 @ 2.8
ISO 100
The actual picture was kind of taken as a joke, but i thought i'd try my best at post processing it.
My first real try at PP'ing a portrait. The only lighting was a hand held sb-800 (triggered via on-camera flash at EV -2.0) around 30 degrees left and a little above the subject.
To edit i removed blemishes, then did surface blur & gaussian blur and the masked over the lips, hair, and eyes. Then i made the eyes whiter and sharper and darkened the background, then did some dodging and burning.
I know this isn't my best work, but i'd like to get some feedback and any tips that people have for me. How can I make his skin tone more even in color? Also, i feel like i could've done something better with the hair, but maybe that is more of a lighting issue than PP.
I'm looking into doing senior pictures and portraits in the future for friends so anything helps!
