If I put a pic on a profile, I am hoping to describe me in my best light, so I am careful of backgrounds, also because of the peculiar affects of lighting I try to have pictures taken in natural light. Electronic flash is so unflattering with colour, but can work very well with black and white when a high contrast reportage type photograph is sought.A liking for this type of photography came from old pictures of Betty Page. I admit, I do use some effects in my photographs, mainly colour correction and blurring of undesired items and on occaision I will create a fantasy backdrop with photoshop, I have one of these pics on my profile.
