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@portraitcontest.
