The subtleness of colour and tone in this study is wonderful – a superb portrait indeed.

Wow this is great work. What is the technique use to create image like this. Is it HDR?

Hi all, thanks again, glad you like it! Billy – No HDR here just straight up dodge and burn on a 50% gray layer set to overlay for non-destructive editing… Cheers!

Wow great work Enrico Love your work and the style you put into your photos, it brings real life to your images.

haha, so many people have already commented, it seems pointless to say anything else. But I love it, especially the lighting and his eyes.

You do very well with your work. it’s nice to see a story behind the work. Some thing I need to do more. Excellent job !
