My 2nd self portrait.

[Blukoo]

I took a self portrait tonight but realised it was rubbish.

I decided to have another go using a few tips I was given on the first image.
I increased the dof, diffused the light with material and wore a grey top.

I used a black backdrop this time and I was wearing a hoodie so I went for a dark, intimidating, style with the processing.
I'm quite happy with the results.

Any c&c is welcome.

Just take my wallet and phone and don't hurt me!





Kidding aside, it's a damned good effort I reckon.

Love the post processing on the first fella, no offence lool like a really slim version of Charles Bronson

I like this one! Much more atmospheric. With your dark expression the "grainy" almost "film noir" look works very well. You might be a boxer sizing up an opponent...

Why not try going even further and try a B&W version!
