Distant

[Pete Askew]

Another from the same 'session'. And, on the subject of skin softening, none was applied in this image.

Hasselblad 503CW + Distagon 50mm f 1:4.0 at 1/250s at f1:4.0 onto a PhaseOne P20 Back (ISO 50). Initial PP in CaptureOne Pro. Main PP in PS / Nik ColorFX 4 (B&W conversion 20% opacity, Film Grain 400px, Glow 70% warm, Levels and Curves, Vignette small with 20% opacity). Adjustment and output from LR. No sharpening applied.

Nice Pete, I take it the soft tones were a result of the glow?

 

[Pete Askew]

Yes but also the lighting was soft and there is film grain applied.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Thats a lovely PP! perfect for the subject I think!
your style translates wonderfully in portraiture i think Pete!

I love the earring. My eye is drawn to it. Although it would be a very nice portrait without it, for me it is the earring that gives something special to this photo. Very nice Pete.
