Lighitng was an SB-800 in DIY beauty dish to camera right and Nikon Sb-26 bounced into a reflective umbrella camera left behind the subject. Also a white reflector in front of subject camera left.
Set Up Shots:
Edits:
B&W conversion
Hue/Saturation adjustment layer for tone
Shadows/Highlights
USM
Composition: I like the centered comp. Not too fond of the extra space around him.
Lighting/Exposure: Spot on.
Pose: You have a little head tilt here, which is good. I don't like that the shoulders are rounded.
Suggestions for Improvements: With a headshot like this, I would have him hook one of his thumbs into a beltloop or put one hand on a hip to make his shoulders come more alive. I would also crop out some of the unnecessary space around him top and bottom.
He looks so much like a cowboy that has seen too many cattle get away. This is a lovely representation.
