This shot is the result of an experiment because I hadn't tried to take a dark portrait earlier. I didn't have a studio, so I darkened the room as much as possible and I use an LED reading lamp as a single light source. I switched to manual focus and manual settings. ISO 800, exposure time 1/80sec. Aperture the widest, 1,8G.
I used Adobe Lightroom for post-processing. The main task was to make rest elements of the background disappear.
And this the outcome. This post served as my entry to Steemit Portrait Photography Contest Week 117 by @portraitcontest.
