Shot using halogen worklamps and a black fabric backdrop. A bit of experimentation to get the correct exposure. Although the lens goes to f1.8 the focus is so critical that I prefer to use f2.8 or f4.
Processing: Channel mixer to B+W, then levels and curves adjustment layers.
This is a shot I've been wanting to set up for a long time... inspired by an album cover.
I'm not sure I make a particularly good model however :-( and I am not too happy with the shirt, in hindsight it's a little over exposed.
