My friend, dr. Arnar Eggert, teacher at the University of Iceland. When I saw the grey hair and this handsome beard I asked him if he could pay me a visit in my little studio, so I could master the use of hair light. He was more than happy to to so, and when I saw this challenge I immedatly thought of this photoshoot, simply because we had so much fun.
Shot in a portrait studio with one big softbox, and two smaller stripboxes with grid to light the hair.

This looks like a lovely portrait session. I don't know why, but I feel like I'm looking for more stories in this challenge rather than setup shots. Sorry. It is a very good photo.
It's a (very) short story :) But I understand your point completly, but I felt that in this case his genuine expression was quite enough to tell a story of joy.
Thanks for understanding. I had the challenge description stuck in my head and was thinking more along the lines of candid, live, street, event scenarios. Using a studio portrait shot never even crossed my mind when thinking about what image to use for this challenge. I'm glad it did well for you and for your friend.

The topic was Faces of Emotion, why would it need to be telling a story as you define it? Why couldn't it be a studio portrait? This is a very fine face full of emotion!

Exudes candid, unfiltered personality. And the photo exhibits a kind of casual technical precision that would make the most seasoned portrait photographer jealous. Easily my top pick for this challenge. Thanks for sharing with us!
Pure Joy
