Omar was at this portrait session
because his girlfriend told him that he would be there. He had no desire to have his photo
taken.
He had a great smile but no matter what I did, he would not show it for
the camera. Omar is from Iceland
and according to Inga, his girlfriend, men don’t smile for the camera in
Iceland. Don’t know if that is true
or not, but I do know that Omar did not smile for my camera—I think he is a
Canon guy!
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3x, 85mm f/1.4, ISO 100, f/8 at 1/45th
of a second on a tripod with two Elinchrom strobes with umbrellas on each side.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 4—set white and black point
and increased contrast, increased clarity, contrast and sharpness in his eyes
with adjustment brush and did some basic dodging and burning.
No smile but good portrait.

Your portraits always seem to be sharp but I do not see that you do any sharpening in LR. How do you make them so sharp?
