[ENG] Portrait in Natural Light with OM-5

Text and Photos by Ugo Baldassarre

The excess of digital retouching and the rampant abuse of technology in the creation of pseudo-photographic images are gaining general attention in recent weeks: AIs winning photo contests, AIs inventing breathtaking scenarios and situations, AIs enhancing/combining photos to achieve new “creative” peaks. Hearing about all this Artificial Intelligence (!!) just makes me want to pick up my camera and dedicate myself to a nice old-fashioned session, dedicating myself only to obtaining a good photographic result. A beautiful and bright pre-spring day in early March and my “light” equipment were an indispensable mix to pursue this purpose.

While waiting to receive the actual products for a test, I wanted to think about the new camera that I still had the opportunity to touch on June 9th directly at Olympus Italia with Luca Servadei (sales director) and Gianni Trevisani (chief technical officer of Olympus Italy).

A few weeks ago, several Olympus European Ambassadors were invited to promote the new professional zoom  Zuiko 150-400 f / 4.5 1.25x PRO. During the event there was a photographer who took care of photographing them at work and creating the portraits that were then used for the actual promotion.
I went a little deeper and fell in love with Ashely Joanna‘s work; I thought it was worth sharing with all of you readers.
