Airy, beautiful portrait!

Fons, I like this sharp geometry.  Also, the reflection left below gives a nice accent to the image.

Airy, beautiful portrait!

Thanks Akira. Despite the shortcomings, I seem to like that angle; an earlier example is attached. It only works in B&W, preferrably using red or orange filters (in PP), because most of the time skin tones vary too strongly between face, cheeks, ears and neck.

Former with Zeiss 50/2 wide open; latter with 85/1.4G at f/2.2.

Fons, I really like that conversion  :) .  I like the dark tones and the light and shadows of the people.

A very cramped Japanese Fashion Shoot  :) In the very small café of a very small Guest House in Jaisalmer.   We kept trying to get out of the way but the female Photog, not in this image, just kept shooting around us.  Sony a7II, Batis 25 f2
