I’m going to try playing with a portrait this week. This is Hubby (of 43+ years). I took it PRE-covid at an Apple store. All I have done so far is blurred the background.
I'll be interested in watching your portrait play. I am terrible at it and don't have models who will let me practice - hubby would not want to volunteer. I wonder if more blur in the background would work - there's so much distracting colors and things. Maybe try b&w?
