Hmmm, very nice portrait, Von. Love this man’s eyes; the raised eyebrows and the Mona Lisa smile make him a very interesting subject. Lighting him from both sides is wonderful. Lol, the hat is a touch of beautiful whimsy,
He’s a great subject for sure…it was difficult to get him not to smile during the shoot. Some people are just happy all the time. I used mix lighting in this shot, first time I’ve done that and it seems to have worked out well. Thanks Jan.
I’ve been teaching lighting in preparation for when I get myself down-under someday and to give a week long workshop….better know what I’m talking about before I get there.
Awesome portrait Von!! Its almost like you can read his thoughts
When it tells a story I have what I need in an image…big thanks! :-)

You have definitely gone over to the dark side now haven’t you? Good choice and well done on your lighting and posing!
Well I’ll say this…it saves on buying backgrounds…lol I consider myself lucky to have gotten the chance to work with a subject that has such a wonderful soul.
