Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
I prefer to shoot portraits unposed, as is the case with this image. The session was quite informal in that I just hung out at the studio while the artist went about his work.
High quality images produced by modern phones often can be improved with edits. In this case, backlighting darkens the subject and some elements in the scene lead the eye away from the subject.
Edits applied to this image include cropping, tonal adjustments, separation of foreground from background, and removal of distracting elements.
In the end, the edited image better reflects the photographer’s intent.
