Hello to my dear friends in the black and white community!
I am Menti and I am back with a new photography and blog post. I hope you are all doing well and everything is fine there.

In a world where beauty is often associated with youth, Dr. Farhad (model's name), a 62-year-old cosmetic doctor, serves as an inspiration and a paradox. With his salt and pepper hair and a face that shows the signs of aging, yet still remains attractive and fresh, he is a picture of contradiction and beauty in the passage of time.
Recently, I had the privilege of photographing Dr. Farhad in my studio. My goal for this photoshoot was to capture a lasting image of this well-dressed and stylish man that would truly reflect his confidence and vitality.

own set of challenges. Wrinkles and lines on the face can make the subject look older. On the other hand, improper lighting can emphasize these lines too much and detract from the natural beauty of the subject.

To overcome these challenges, I used various techniques. Soft lighting and subtle shadows helped to highlight Dr. Farhad's positive features. Additionally, using the right camera angles helped me to capture a flattering and balanced image of him.

One of my key decisions for this photoshoot was to use black and white photography. This helped me to shift the focus away from the details and wrinkles on his face and focus on Dr. Farhad's overall beauty and natural expressions.

Although the doctor did not have any special wrinkles on his face, I improved and healed these young people as much as possible with the help of retouching and Photoshop tools.
Really, when you were next to him and talking to him, you never thought you were talking to a 60-year-old man. It was great and with the help of photography I find friends and different people in my life that I sometimes miss.
