SONY DSC-RX100 (15.1mm, f/2.8, 1/200 sec, ISO400)

After I installed VSCO film for Lightroom I went through my favorite portraits. Most of them were shot with my Canon 5D but I also have a lot of Fuji X100 and already some Sony RX100 portraits as well. Although I don’t consider the RX100 to be the best tool for portraits it does a decent job and considered it’s size it does an awesome job.

Below image is a good example.  Nothing wrong with it at all and not a bad image to start with. Subject to background separation is as good as it get’s for a compact camera but of course no match to a more serious camera. The “unprocessed” RAW looks a little flat which is the best starting point for post processing. High dynamic range means that the shadows are too light but that’s better than the other way around.SONY DSC-RX100 (15.1mm, f/2.8, 1/200 sec, ISO400)

One click on the Kodak 160VC ( vivid color ) and clarity pushed to +10 gets you the shot below. One click on the Kodak 160NC ( neutral color ) + clarity +10 get’s you the image on the top. Plain and simple. I think there might be a better way of post processing but there surely is no easier and faster way.SONY DSC-RX100 (15.1mm, f/2.8, 1/200 sec, ISO400)
