Travis

A recent photo I took of my friend Travis. Shot in natural light with a white reflector. Edited in photoshop. I took a more experimental route with my editing in terms of color processing compared to my usual work.

Canon 5D Classic, EF 85mm f/1.8 lens set to f/4, 1/2000sec, ISO 1000.

Before and after comparison: https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca8...ayfs-507ca121-41f1-48cb-8415-dbbab4b8267d.jpg

I don't know why, but the facial features look different in the side by side comparisons. Wow. I never realized the power that light carries until this. Thank you for this food for thought.

Until i looked at the side by side i liked the tone, now I'm not sure. I suspect that having the comparison next to it, is somehow having a detrimental effect. Strange? Just out of curiosity have you ever tried a silver reflector?

Lighting really is the most important factor in photography, followed by vision.

It's an unusual edit. Thanks for your feedback. Sometimes I do use a silver reflector, but in most cases I prefer the subtle effect of a white reflector.
