Self Portrait
#1

How's the lighting?

my set up was, 2 flashes at 10 and 2 o'clock; 10 o'clock flash with diffuser cup, 2 o'clock flash bounced off a mirror. Fill light from a fluorescent light bulb at 11:30.

Ignore the fact that i'm unshaven and have messy hair and horrible skin.

Also, I'm pretty sure white balance is right, since i did "select white point" and clicked on the white part of my eye, but, if WB could be better, let me know.

In PP i added an Orton effect and adjusted levels.

Finally, here's the pic.

You have a kind of shadow down the front of your face. It will be because of 10.00 & 2.00 o'clock lights being either side. Suggest that they are not opposite one another. Paul R.is the expert on beautiful faces. Smile
