Here is another picture from a little and tiny photoshoot I've done recently - It was a little bit unfortunate, as initial plan was to do something else and those pictures were just "Warm up snaps". So my external flash suddenly stopped working I figure out that there is problem with hot shoe on the camera which is something I will try to fix but I doubt about any success of it.
The general plan was to get know model, see the vibe do few exercising photos indoor and go outdoor and use straight flash to light up the model face, however while testing at home as I've said, I've noticed that something doesn't work with the flash therefore I run quickly to find any extra source of light and I used only IceLight / Light Tube to add a little bit light to the model face.
Believe or not but there was a little bit window frame on the side and I've used quick tool in photoshop to remove it's amazing what Generative fill can do to photos this days - I remember when I've started my photography journey and when something was on the way you had to frame the way that it's not there, afterwards with early digital photography you had to use clone tool in photoshop which usually took very long time. Now with this generative tool to remove stuff like that - it's a matter of seconds. Just wow. Is it cheating? Well I'm not sure as the main subject is the same there isn't a lot of photoshop other than removing the frame on the side of images - and that what I really love to do - colour grading.
Below I'm showing you three images, before you say that the unedited looks best which might (personal taste) I would say it's rather picture that you can see from any other photographer, as eventually and on the end of the day what shape as and our style is very much not only to the lighting technique, framing or ideas but also about colours which create that uniqueness:
-After throwing in to photoshop and removing frame and colour grading
-Before photoshop but after lightroom
-Photo straight out of the camera
