Low light portrait

Yuri Pautov

Priviet, dear friends!
This time - low light photo.
During our flash photo session I decided to take some photos with pilot light of one flash.
SONY R1
0.4 sec with f 6.3 and ISO 400. I asked Zhanna to sit still and ... here is a result.
I used some things in Postprocessing:
Used copy layer for each thing and then played with opacity.

- Filter-> Noise -> Dust for the face area.
- Optikvervelabs Plugins : B&W: Sepia with turning 'on' color
- resizing for web
- Filter -> sharpen ->Unsharp Mask 90/0.4/0 for the figure
- adding black frame
I tried to make a 'chamber' portrait without showing the source of light ...




What do you think?

I love this type of lighting! You did a beautiful job, Yuri, and thank you for your detailed explanation of the steps taken to achieve this. The lighting is stunning and gives the effect of light streaming from a high window source. Very nice!!!

Very nice Yuri!

One small comment - maybe a small reflector (a piece of newspaper even) on the right, just to add a *little* bit more light to her face
