Location
At my home in Sofia. BulgariaTime
Late afternoonLighting
I love natural light. This shot was close to the window as I like how the light embraces everything when you come closer to it.Equipment
Camera only.Inspiration
The freckles themselves and the deep eyes. I like the combination.Editing
Post-processing was: revert to black and white, increase contrast, lift the blacks a bit with curves and enhance the eyes. The rest was softening the skin where needed but keeping the freckles and even darkening them. I got a bit of a dirty look but I loved it.In my camera bag
45mm MFT, 20 mm MFT and lately - reflector.Feedback
Choose your model carefully, the face should tell a story, emotions can be visible no matter of their nature.
