- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
These casual shots were taken under what is common conditions for us - small room, no studio set-up, travelling light as travel was by small boat - so any feedback will help me to improve my portraits under these sort of conditions.
Fuji X-E2 (didn't want to risk my newer X-T2 on boat/motorcycle trip), only one lens to keep weight down - a 35mm f1.4 - (options would have been a 23 f1.4, 56 f1.2 or an 18-135 zoom).
Heavy monsoon rain kept us in the cottage for a while, so a chance for a few photos - 'model' not keen on posing, so some shots taken while she was messaging on her phone.
Minimal post processing and black and white conversuons using Lightroom on a mobile (no access to a laptop for a while).
Last image was just a fun one - but shown in color - the sun on the previous days had darkened her skin, much to her horror and my delight - I love the 'dusky maiden' look.
