Think I've had Portugal. The Man -Feel It Still on repeat for a week before taking this photo so the 80's vibe was stuck in my mind. The only problem is that the image I have in mind is of the 80's in some big city from the USA and it not so representative for a lot of people. So if you have no clue what I am talking about I recommend you to check out the Mad Man series to get that 60's - 80's vibe.

The phone rang. He took a strong pull from the cigarette. His deadline had already passed, and he expected the call. His publisher wanted a draft of the book he had been promising for months.
He had spent his advance on women and cocaine, and spent his time on the islands of southern Greece. Basically he had done everything but write. And now he would pay the price...

awesome story sir
it fits the character exactly!
Yaas!
This goes beyond perfect, it looks like a painting! Congratulations :)
My images often do look like painted or CGI, mostly because I seek perfection in them while editing
I think it's becoming part of my style.
Glad you like it!
Really gorgeous, I think that's your mark!
dont know why, it reminded me of GTA vice city :)
such a cool shot! Love the attitude, love the colors, the angle. Gorgeous! There is a lot to learn from you! :)
glad you like it
Truly amazing shot, man. Is there a way I can contact you directly?
discord/facebook/instagram wapp what do you prefer?
Thank you!
done you can remove the link ;)
Amazing shot! The colors, the feeling, truly a unique shot. Resteemed!
Stunning portrait! Yayy for your talent and your Nikon!
glad you like it, i had a lot of fun shooting this image
nikon / cannon / sony / iphones they are all the same just another camera
True!!
Dope. There's a nice surreal quality to the photo, almost giving it the appearance of a painting or well textured 3D model. Did you add some blur to this?
Nope, the lack of sharpness is due to light diffraction in my old lens. The neon tube was quite powerful and i had no way to flag it while still keeping it in frame
love the retro colours
Glad you do. I tuned them specifically to suit the narative
Amazing, love the tones. It's quite a skill to tell a story with a single frame.
Thanks. It's quite difficult and i dont always manage to deliver a story but my goal is to try and create one that doesn't need any title/explication

Thank you
Beautiful colors man!
I always hate when blue gets its way to the fingers, it's impossible to get rid of it, but here in this portrait it looks almost natural.
Congrats!
I totally know what you are talking about. In this case the fac that the neon tube was quite large helped a lot and i also had a bounce board near by
Nice!
Check out my portrait, I would love to hear your suggestion on this one

amazing color grading !
So cool. I'll have a lot of work to do before I can control light like that. I love the color, too.
Beautiful colors. I miss my D7000!
what camera do you use now?
Pentax 645z
Wow, go big or go home, right?
Hehe, I got it for copy work. I photograph paintings for print.

Relly cool to see images like this on Steemit amongst loads of junk and pictures shot on auto... Keep up the good work!
Also love Sobranie, brings back old memories :)
the Sobranie was so random :)) did not plan to be that perfected aligned and only noticed while editing but it worked out great
Seriously great work!
Thats one killer portrait. The colours are just beautiful!!
Rad style on this! I like it!
Nailed it! That is one cool look. Those colors... That expression... Nice photo!
The expression is key, was looking through the images and moments away he doesn't look like a cool worker anymore and he looks a lot more like an industrial worker
Love the color toning you did for this image :) Very Michael Bay.
