Thanks to Mark (model) and Jacob (VAL) for playing along. I asked Mark if he had any quirky clothes and we picked the shirt & waistcoat to give a old-world feel. Jacob held my one speedlight way above his head inside a pillowcase I sequestered for my softbox.

The most here I am portrait in the challenge, and good for him. He seems to be holding nothing back, which is rare and admirable. I like how he's facing the camera from a half-turned body, giving the image additional dynamism. I can imagine him being an actor. Bravo.
