He really is a scholar. Jeff and his PhD robes. I looked up and experimented with Rembrandt lighting, and tried for the old Masters feel. I think it ended up being a little too warm, otherwise I was excited about it. Thanks for the comments!

This is astoundingly well lit. Looks like an old Dutch Master. Wonderful.

Nice side light and costume/prop/pose to mimic an old painting.

Wow Wendy, very slick. Where did you get the outfit from?

My only nitpick is it's a little on the dark side. Unless that's the look you were going for.

I'm guessing the blue for you.
