Male Portrait

Key light is 22"x22" softbox placed right front of subject with fill above camera bounced from large umbrella.

I see the eyes are just brilliant but it has some competition with the gold chain for attention.

The lighting for the rest is excellent as I see it.

May I ask why the fleece pullover for a portrait shot? It makes it look a bit more casual in a sense.

Yes, a casual look is what this subject wanted for this shot. We did others too...Same fella in the profile examples. Even the gold chain was left in to keep it casual...I wished I'd flagged the light off of it though.

Thanks for the comments.
