Taken with one 500w Bowens lamp at the model who is my brother Andri Thor. I did place the lamp left to him and above at 45° Some curves, contrast, hue/saturation work, shadow/highlight. Then Smart sharp.
Hellisheidi is a hot-spring area on Iceland, now the powercompany is building a PowerPlant that use the hot-spring, steam and the water to make electricy and supply for hot-water to the city and towns. This is taken at the one of the biggest test-holes for this PowerPlant that will open in 2007 I think

Model is a little stiff looking, and the sun peeking between his arm and torso kinda makes him look like a Hollywood space alien. The billowing smoke (steam?) is interesting, and I like this in black and white.
i don't know why the guy is in the shot...i think it would have been more powerful without him. he looks kind of stiff and posed anyway. he takes away from the great texture of the clouds.
the light coming through his arm is a little awkward. it might have been more powerful as an accent on the smoke stack - if shot from a different angle. otherwise i would have had him scoot over just enough to hid the sun all together. otherwise i really like the image. contrast and sharpness is great!
