if this were a visual scavenger hunt you would win.
But the flat lighting here makes this really look like a quick snapshot - hard to give a good score to.
It's a good idea, I would try leaving the room dark, opening a window (day) or one lamp on at night and setting up on a table or tripod and capturing the outline of his features from the dark side of room - shooting toward the light. You may need some fill light to even out the exposure a little, a bounce card of poster board maybe?
Then the lighting is more creative, it looks like you tried to take a nice shot, and voters will be nicer and give you better scores. Hope that helps. |
