Hi, I trimmed half my beard, tidied half my face, and untidied the other. I draped a work shirt over one shoulder. I set up a single soft box, on one side.

My wife pressed the shutter, and I post processed by setting up two different white balances and tones, masking one half to get the two tone look.

Thanks! I was wondering how you got the different tones. Very clever! I appreciate the explanation.
