Beautifully lit Chris. The amount of black space you’ve left in the frame is also an excellent chioce.
Nice work.

Saganaki the cheese? Or it that some euphemism? We had saganaki after the life drawing class :)
Extremely cool shot..the darkness and light are sublime.
Seng Mah
Superb combination of futurism and a more traditional form of portraiture.

I’ve looked at this piece a couple of times – in terms of style, it’s not something that I’d hang on my walls, but the technical aspects of the work are excellent, and the creativity and time involved to complete are quite apparent. Nice studio piece.
Paul Vanzella
Certainly created a wonderful shot here… love the pose and head gear of course… Great work all round!!
Crokus Label
Original… at first glimpse, I thought that they were seringes (I am a francophone, I can’t always spell right… s’ry)
