More Self-Portrait Experiments.

I like this one a lot better than my first attempt last week. The light was better, and I metered for the highlights, leaving everything else in shadow. I got lucky with the angle of the sun and my face.

Vintage 60's/70's hippie vibes w/Ginger at the #floridabotanicalgardens. The hippie-esque outfit/vibes warranted post processing this shot (and others from the set) in that matte style that was common and popular for much of the 60's and 70's to recreate the style/look of the era as best as possible. #vintage #matte #mattelook #vintagestyle #retrostyle #hippie #hippiegirl #60s #70s #retro #model #fashionmodel #classicaesthetic #60sfashion #70sfashion #photography #fashionphotography #portraitphotography #fujifilm #fujixt3 #fuji1655mmf28 #naturallight #naturallightphotography #naturallightphoto #aperturepriority #largo #florida #tampabayarea

Not too often that I get to do something with a #malemodel but it's a nice switch up when the opportunity arises. With Landen at Fort DeSoto's North Beach. Taken with #fujixt3 and #fuji50140mmf28 lens. Settings: 50mm (75mm full frame equivalent), ISO 160, f/4, 1/1400 in #aperturepriority mode using #naturallight only. #malemodels #model #shirtless #muscle #athletic #boysofsummer #beach #warm #summervibes #summer #portrait #maleportrait #photography #photo #portraitphotography #glamourphotography #fujifilm #naturallightphotography #telephotolens #fortdesotopark #fortdesoto #tierraverde #florida #tampabayarea

Warm, soft, and angelic vibes with the beautiful Tasha.

A little #beforeandafter comparison, demonstrating my editing style/aesthetic. This shot was in B&W from the get-go: on the left is a straight out of camera JPEG version (created in camera, I set RAW and JPEG creation in tandem) of it that served as a proof for viewing, on the right is the end result after making adjustments in #lightrooom and #photoshop (don't remember exactly what I did but it was minimal, including lifting shadow/dark tones a bit). Sometimes #lessismore as I tread a fine line between natural looking and vibrant w/photo editing. Model: Karina. Camera and lens info: #fujixt3 and #tamron1770mmf28. Settings: 48mm (71mm full frame equivalent), ISO 400, f/2.8, 1/180 using natural light, aperture priority mode. #blackandwhite #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #monochromemagic #photography #photo #photoediting #demo #comparison #portraiture #portraitphotography #woman #model #cowgirl #countrygirl #flower #cowboyhat #rural #rurallife #adobe #fujifilm #tamron #aperturepriority #naturallight #naturallightphotography #naturallightportrait
