Man in t-shirt on sofa by Coventry photographer

This shoot took place in Earlsdon with two flash guns and a standard 18-55mm lens.

The techniques applied to this image includes a diaramo effect which is unusual to use to in portraits.

Richard wanted a photograph to use on his online profile.

I have also used the Healing Brush Tool to remove the hot spot from the nose.

I used the diaroma technique to make this a portrait image focused on the face. It is always quicker to reduce the depth of field from f5.6 to f2.8.

Camera used: Canon 300D

Focal Length: f5.6

Flash used: Two 580EX flash guns
