I am a great fan of Andrzej Dragan's work. His style of processing is among most famous ones, and many tutorials attempt to recreate the magic. In my opinion, none of the ones I found is extremely convincing, so I studied several of them and mixed their ideas with some of mines to get as close as I could to the wanted result.
Your imitation of the photographers style was well executed as far as the background choice and the clothing style and the character of the subject and props used. However te hd quality of your photo doesn't quite have the same feel as the photographer you have chosen to imitate. His portraits have more texture and a little less DoF and some added blur where yours is super sharp quality.
Stark, yet excitingly bland...must be the light and shadows. Despite the blood oozing from the wounds of this razor sharp image (can I borrow that patch?), I like it. And stop looking at me like that, it's creepy! 8
In my profound ignorance of things photographic, I had to look up Andrzej Dragan. Glad I did - the work is fascinating. Thanks for a great photo and the opportunity to learn something new!
My education in photography still has huge gaps. I am unfamiliar with Andrzej Dragan's work, but I will need to correct this because this image is fantastic. The lighting and portrait aspect of this is wonderful. I hope someday I can create a black and white image this lovely. What can I say about the eye patch, chop sticks and eggs? Marvelously quirky. Can you tell I like this?
It'll be interesting to see the tutorial on this one. Great shot. Love the use of light to his right, yet we can still see the detail on the patch side of his face.
