Clear Frames
This is the next installment in the business card portrait series. Or rather quest. I’m looking for the defining GUSTAV HOILAND image to adorn my next round of cards. I think I’m getting closer, and I’m taking things a bit more seriously (I shaved in the minutes before setting up the lights).
This is essentially the look I was going for throughout this shoot. Very harsh light (highly defined shadows, especially cast from the glasses), strong separation of face and neck/background, etc.
Dialed in the color and tonality, pulled away a few fleeting skin blemishes (that’s about the extent that I’ll beautify people/myself… anything more quickly becomes very unsettling), and probably did some other stuff. I notice now I missed the hair correction up top (erasing those errant downward hairs in the center), the hoodie isn’t symmetrical, and the glasses shadow to the left of my nose is a bit distracting. Overall, this photo just might make the cut.
Also, haircut!
