The Timekeeper

This shot as one that came out a lot better that I actually expected when i clicked. I will not tell you who or what the guy is just to keep the mystery alive but I can tell you this: Custom white balance when you don’t have that warming filter on you is your best friends sometimes.

My intention was to create a mystery feeling across the frame not only by composition but also by color. At first since it was near sun dawn I thought that just a good angle would pay off but it did not. The result was way to … realistic.

So I started using the custom white balance, using warmer that usual settings until I git this. A little pps was added later just to add a small vignetting for artistic purposes., although I usually try not to use pps for 90% of my “artistic” photos.

Business photo shoots are of course excluded.  I still don;t know any photographer / graphic designer that became rich by making things look ugly :)

Now a challenge: The first three who will comment and guess what this’ man is doing for living will get a free print from Lightform Store. So take your shot :)
