Description

This is a photo I took for a weekly assignment for my school course.

I used two flashes for this one. Well, one really, as I only used the other flash to trigger the main flash. The main light was directed mostly at the background, to give the person a silhouette, but so that some of the light would hit his face. And on the other side of the person there were reflector for the fill light.

This was the first time I shot portraits using studio flash(es), so considering that I'm quite happy with the result.

Feedback and suggestions on how to improve are very much appreciated.

Nice mood!

Wish you could disclose a little more details on the darker part of the face, just a little

Moody and good. I would crop a bit from the bottom and from the right.

nice mood
i think the light is a bit off thought.... having both eyes in shadows looks weird here

Nice image, but the light bleed on the back of the neck is off putting..

Burn it in a bit.

otherwise a good menacing image.

Cheers for the comments.

twistoflime: Cropped the photo a bit, and yes, I think it looks better now.

Almost-Human: I hope I understood you correctly. Tried to burn in the neck a bit but It just didn't look good anymore, so I burned it all out.
