People Portraits of my Father

[JoeTheSnowPlowGuy]

I took these impromptu portraits of my father at a family gathering and I think they came out ok. He wanted a blacked out background so I gave him one and then left some background on the other two for depth. I played with the various exposure and shadow levels in LR and adjusted the white balance. Definitely adding a color checker card. Canon R6 Mark 2, RF 50mm F1/8, 1/200 at ISO 100, 800, and 1250, respectively, single Godox speedlite.

The beer commercials clearly lied. This is most interesting man in the world.

Great work.

Excellent portraits. I can't decide who he favors the most, Sean Connery or Burt Reynolds....

There's definitely a Burt Reynolds look there.

Interesting face - full of character. I can see elements of Anthony Quinn or Christopher Plummer.
