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...

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!

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

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
