Wow, kinda weird to get a couple comments on this outta the blue. I have done more shots of him but just more traditional type headshots for his web page |

thanks for the thoughts Vikas, I did sample it in b&w but the lightly desated color version got good feedback over at 500px so I went with that. The white spots were intentional however. I have taken to using baby powder in different ways in shots lately. Like here. |

| I really like the lighting in this portrait. Like the detail and textures of the model. Like his expression. Didn't realize this was yours, but I like what you're doing. Keep it up. |

This shows great technical control of lighting, especially the fine rim light on his face and shoulder. His expression is beautiful because it does truly look genuine. To be a bit picky, there is a bit of harsh clipping in the blacks showing on my monitor, and the sharpening is a little over-done for my taste. I would have also preferred if less of his face was cropped on the left side; I can't seem to verbalize quite why I feel that way besides saying that it feels like an uncomfortable place to crop someone's face--though maybe the uncomfortableness works with the image's emotion. It's nice to crop close when the model has such a telling expression, but because of the particular emotion showed, I wonder if it would have worked better with more negative space for another tangible/physical representation of hurt, pain, worry, anxiety, and/or isolation.
While I'd consider this image to be on the right side of the bell curve for portraits, for me to bump it up any higher, I would need to see something more than just a beautiful, technically sounds visual representation of the subject at a specific point in time. I want to see some kind of story, some kind of deeper insight into the subject. Basically, I think this is a great image, but I know what kind of talent lurks beneath the surface of the photographers on DPC, and I want to push that talent to its limit : ) |
