Sndbox Summer Camp Photography/Filmmaking - Task "Take some shots" - Portrait Photography
Second part of the "Take some shots" @sndbox Photography Quest. If you don't know what i am talking about, you should really read this: https://steemit.com/sndbox/@guyfawkes4-20/sndbox-summer-camp-photography-and-filmmaking-quest-rules
Another task of the Photography Quest is to take some shots from different types of photography. This time i made the Portrait Photography task.
Initially i wanted to go out to take some street shots and also to get a cup of coffee with my girlfriend. We walked the streets of Bucharest and we stopped to buy a latte from a local coffee shop. Outside the shop there were these "Christmas Lights" and i taught it will be a great opportunity to make the Portrait for the @sndbox Quest also.
I had my favorite lens with me, the 50mm 1.8 from Nikon, which is just perfect for portraits and also an all-around lens. The bokeh it produces is amazing and the quality of it is also nice. i really recommend buying this lens if you don't already have it in your setup.
As i said before in my posts, i am a natural light addict. Initially when i saw the task i taught of renting a studio, but this is really not my style. I played a little with the angles and searched for the right spot to take this photo. The light, in my opinion fell perfectly.
As for the editing, i just played with the brightness/contrast from the raw file and gave it just a bit of saturation because i wanted the yellow lights to pop out and also her scarf that was so colorful. After that i just made a layer for the skin in Photoshop, but being careful not to go to far with this type of edit. I like my portraits to be natural.

Bine, Victor!
Multumesc mult, Ana! :D
In prima faza, cand m-am uitat la imagine am crezut ca e facuta cu ceva lentila vintage, apoi am citit ca e cu 50mm. Imi place mult incadrarea si cum ai surprins lumina pe fata. Fundalul ala aruncat din focus e cireasa de pe tort :)
Ah it's stunning! Well done!
