Shot took place in my closet with my desk lamp shining through a metal pencil holder box. This created the shadows on the wall. I changed into a black sweatshirt and set up my camera on top of a bunch of scrunched up newspaper to position it correctly. Took about 10 shots and I got the one I wanted.

Love the shadows especially...my only suggestion would be to crop of SOME of the top so that more focus would be on the individual. Other than that...great work! 8
He's in a corner, but the ceiling could be very high (he isn't up against it). Lighting and grain are effective, but light pattern on wall looks like blinds -- would be better if the pattern looked like bars!
