Bettina Gilois - Last of 4 Photos

Posted by
Phil Morris (Saskatoon, Toronto, NYC, Canada) on 17 February 2014 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

This is one of the 2 last photos of Bettina. Basically on this I just adjusted the lighting
on her left side of the face to show detail and to balance the photo pose by enlarging
the background, and centering the photo. The next step to this would be colorization,
which I did a version also in golden tones.

Nazzareno from Rome, Italy

Really a stunning and elegant black and white portrait.
