Self portrait: this is mostly how I look on week days, since I go to work on my bike. It's always fun to meet new people in this outfit, one does get noticed ;-)
Setup:
- 1 softbox from the left as strip
- 1 softbox from the right as strip
- 1 speedlight + blue gel on background
- 1 speedlight + silver umbrella frontally as fill

Very nice shot. However ... is this really 'fill flash'? It looks like 100% studio lighting to me? Maybe I just don't understand the term 'fill flash' ... anyway, very nice photograph. Congrats!
For pities sake someone PLEASE stick some duct tape over his lens to level the playing field .... still bet gyaban would end up shooting a winner with that handicap
Are you sure you've only been into photography for about a year or so, Christophe? Great use of lighting, wonderful outfit, cute model...great take on a classic pose and congrats on the ribbon!
Thanks :-)
All I can say is that DPC is a fantastic place to learn photography. Just look at my very first photos on my flickr account... I was proud of them at the time! ;-)

You seem to be on a roll lately with regards to creativity (and self-portraits). I expect once again for this to be top 5, maybe a ribbon. You have too much time on your hands!
This is one seriously hot dude!!! Awesome work as usual. The lighting is dramatic and delicious. The highlights on the jacket add interest to the dark right, and the patterned and shiny helmet to the left. Subtle fill is killer. Front page. As usual :-)

I like the concept , a couple of little niggles that hurts the score , the visor could have been cleaner , the chin strap hidden better and a little sharper on the models face , the overall shape and balance in the picture is good.
