I know. I almost reshot it, but decided one was enough.

Originally posted by rgo: ok, that's just freaky. this shot, in many many ways, reminds me of ME...say...10 to 15 years ago. Uncanny... That aside, I really like the soft light qualities here, and the shadows work really well. If you'd not mind, can you describe a little bit about the light set up? Nice stuff :)

I simply used one home-made softbox to the right of the camera, at about a 45-degree angle from my model. He was leaning forward a little, so the light comes from a slightly higher spot.

I also used a black radial gradient layer in post-processing, to hide the clean cut of his arm and sleeve on the light's side. The rest of the image was already fading to black.

What a beautiful portrait! Love the white on white with the touch of dark in the background. Gorgeous eyes. You captured them well.
