Location
This photo was taken at an isolated mountainous ethnic village called An Vinh, An Lao District, Binh Dinh province, central VietnamTime
around 5 pm of a winter dayLighting
The man was sitting on the veranda of his house catching very little light from the faraway horizonEquipment
The shot was taken on a 7000 Nikon with a 18-105 lens without any further equipmentInspiration
I was walking around the small village enjoying its late-day life when suddenly catching sight of a very old man with his impressive aged features and thoughtfulness which inspired me greatlyEditing
I erased all the background, heightened clarity and darkened his trunk to highlight the features of his face and handsIn my camera bag
Normally in my bag is just the kit of 7000 Nikon bought 4 years agoFeedback
The most important thing for taking photos of portraits is the moment you capture the expression shown on the face, especially in the eyes
