Creating Moody Portraits: Monomad Challenge on a Cold Wednesday Morning

Living in a remote village deep on the mangrove rainforest isn't a fun feeling. It rains almost everyday (it's been gaining since 5am today), there's epileptic power supply, no cinema. Sometimes, all you want is a pizza.

Luckily for me, I was able to organize a portrait session with one of my favourite amateur models while I was home in April (I turned off the wall lights after taking the BTS photo).

My submission for today's monomad challenge (organized and curated by the ever-present, ever-vigilant Hive account@monomchromes 😄) was inspired by Hive account@kodeblaccc post here. I particularly love the second to the last image in his post because of the beautiful hair light.

All images were shot on the Sony a7iii and Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 Art, and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop.
