Can others edit my Photos
Photos NOT OK to edit
I follow a beauty and fashion photographer, I know, not what most would expect. He does portrait reviews normally but because of the recent situation he's opened up to abstract and other forms of photography. He calls it the stay at home challenge.

So me being me I decided to break out my vinyl cutter and make a silhouette of his likeness that I could place in front of my lens and create a unique bokeh effect. I then comped him into a portrait of myself.

This also goes to show I'm not just weird here. lol.

Settings for the portrait:

1/200 sec F16 Iso 100
Canon 7DmkII w/ Canon 70-200mm at 87mm
Lighting one 300sw strobe set tp 60% on camera left. 2' at a 50deg angle.

Settings for the bokeh:
1/4000 sec F4 Iso 100
Canon 7DmkII w/ Canon 70-200mm at 180mm
Lighting was the suns reflection off of my car.

Good light placement-- you got some light in your far-side eye. And at the same time got some nose shadow that gives your face some shape and dimension. You don't look like your normal self in this to me, but you look like a totally different person.
