Yet another picture taken in my room. This is going back to my love of the minimalistic approach, as opposed to my last work.
I used a black velvet piece of cloth as the background, and the only light in the shot was a desk light that I held with my left hand, and used my right hand to hit the shutter. Note that I had to guess where my head was and hope the focus was on the correct part of my face.
The editing went like this:
Channel Mixer - to isolate the green channel only and get a better black and white than desaturating.
Brightness/Contrast - to keep only the highlight profile.
Color Balance - to put in a little red hue... almost sepia.

Beautiful. It took me a while to figure out which emotion I thought was being represented here, but it wasn't a frustrating experience. It's a picture I could look at and not be bored. Beautiful lighting.
i am noticing the lighting much more than seeing the concept of darkness. Maybe darkness is nothingness epresented by the models blank stare into nowhere? Perhaps something else. Either way it is a fantastic photograph.
