Time

Lighting

Enhanced natural lighting

Equipment

Nikon D3200

Inspiration

My work needed a face for the public to recognise. So this self-portrait offered a huge chance to relate to the public in a personal yet elegant manner.

Editing

All processing required were achieved on a mobile device. I was attempting different methods of editing at the time. This particular one was an app called 'Fantasia Free'; adapting the colours, lighting, texture, and so forth. Afterwards, I also adjusted the outline of the face via 'Photoshop' too. Bringing the image out more in a professional and personal appeal.

In my camera bag

So far I am a minimalist. All the equipment I use currently, are the camera itself, an average-distance lens and of course the charger and spare memory card for emergency's.

Feedback

If you were to attempt to recapture an identical image or image of the same calibre then I would suggest doing lots of quick shots of yourself or other, using bright yet natural lighting, leave all the editing until the post-taking. Rely on colour, texture (softness) and contrast. The rest leaves room for you to make your personal touches.
