great portrait again, what do you use for lighting?

Some true emotion there.

another fantastic portrait.

I can clearly see that you have a special talent for portraiture.
Sure, some can go to school to learn the basics & necessities, etc.
But some are born with that instinct of “what to capture”..beyond the
facial features. You “have it”. This is GOOD…......!

He has awesome freckles, you did a great job capturing the texture on his face. I like the way you positioned him in the frame and his facial expression is intriguing.

Thank you Philip, Xtom, Megan, Birgitta, and Claire.
Philip, the lighting was natural lighting outside.

Brigitta, walking around with a big arse smile on my melon, thank you so much. :D
