Travel Portrait in Laya, Bhutan

There are many different ways to capture portraits while travelling - and all have their place. In this example, we've arranged for a portrait session on the top floor of an ancient farmhouse, sitting over 4000 metres high in the alpine village of Laya, Bhutan. It's true that half the work is done at the moment of capture, choosing the right lighting and hopefully timing the exposure for an appropriate expression, but after that, post-production can spectacularly refine the result.
