Cowboy Cool
This is my son-in-law and another favorite model of mine…he makes my job easy!
This capture is also being used in my painting and drawing studio to help my students move into portrait painting and drawing.
Along with using my collection here on RB for teaching…I print out and use my photography to further show line, form, positive and negative space…
Plus I thought it was just a cool capture to share with all of you!
Thanks for viewing my photography.

Enjoy the pose and the grayscale, the way it goes from that rich black of the hat to those wonderful middle tones. Just balances so nicely. TPS
Susan Bergstrom replied
I was too excited on how the hat was almost 3-D…it is almost sur-real in the hue’s and values…thanks so much for the kind words and the artist eye observation!

Hidemi Tada
why ten gallon hut suits for American people.? i tried it, but did not suit at all. lol.nice image Susan,
Susan Bergstrom replied
Well I think it is an attitude and there are LOTS of cowboy hats…it is a very serious purchase and one to be made carefully…the hat should be an extension of your personality and character…If you were here I could find you the perfect hat…I found this one for my son-in-law…put that on your list to do for this next year…to come to US and let me pick a cowboy hat for you!
CarolM
You sure know how to handle these cowboys! I like how that hat is covering his eyes. Makes us want to see more. A little mystery is good. Nice framing of this handsome cowboy.
Susan Bergstrom replied
I had my camera on burst …I didn’t even know that I had caught this until I downloaded all…I was thrilled and yes I loved that there was the mystery of not seeing his eyes! Thanks Carol!
Hidemi Tada
thank you Susan , i will list up for next year. lol.
