Sometimes I get the odd photo that encourages me to continue with my style and technique. These two pictures are, in my opinion right on the money. The subject looks great but these pictures have the Rembrandt lighting that I have been referring to in my latest blog entrants. I really, really like these and think that as photos they stand up superbly well and would look great hung big. You could almost see these as stills from the Prison Break set, such is the clever use of light on that TV show....

Head and heels above many as a photographer. :) Simple, to the point snap. This is kinda stuff you see in exhibitions.
Pete, I'd Love to see that top one printed up as big as humanly possible.
Kind of intimidating!
Awesome post yesterday too, sorry I didn't comment.

#1 works best IMHO because you get the context of the guy from the trophy and realise why he looks like a hard man, why he's sweating etc.
Top lighting on both. Crops are a bit tight for me - nothing like a bit of space to free the image a little.
Strongly suggest you try for this:

I agree with the comments above, Pete.
Many is the time I've seen images shot in the same vein hanging in exhibitions at places like the National Portrait Gallery.
The moral - 'keep it simple' wins every time :)
Yep, top photos Pete, the lighting on the first is superb.
Gotta agree with the others - these are super.
Thanks for the kind words all.
It is all down to Rembrandt ; he is the man.
He talks to me in my sleep ;-)
