- I love this one awesome processing and raw emotion!
- Lights, camera, action…they nailed it!
- Love the lighting and his expression is great too!
- There is a time and place for these gritty type portraits and this is it. Fantastic. Reminds me of something Joel Grimes would do.
- Hands down my fav! Great expression but also great lighting. Love the grittiness which adds to the overall tone of the image.
- I like the depth of field… looks like he’s right in my face. LOL
- This picture was created using 3 Canon 600 EX-RT Speedlite flashes. One on either side and one in front. Most of the post processing was done in Photoshop.
