You either need focus througout or you should get rid of the wood.

Arni..those other shots are fantastic. The model you were using has a power in the camera. He needs to be a front man for a band or in the movies. He has a very powerful presence.

I know you have a nice camera so you are not limited there and I am glad you make the most of it. I don't know what your photographic/design schools are like where you live but obviously we have a media freak out society over here in the states and you could find all kinds of options. Maybe a large city like New York or L.A. will give you the place to study AND do photography on the side at some studios or whatever.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks for all the good comments :)

Especially you hokie.

People either loved the white space or hated it! Actually I'm thinking off going to learn photography overseas. I'm still looking into some schools.

Here are some photos I took the same night I shot my entry:
Click me! Click me!

Arni, you were robbed.

I think, based on some of the comments I saw, some folks need to start studying some photography outside of this web site.

This photo is so good on so many levels arni, as most of your photos are. For someone your age arni have you considered a career in photography? I am not a photography by trade but I know a lot of them and you are as good as any I work with. Great photo...leave us amatuers alone :-)

The use of negative white space, the level of contrast, ...oh fug it!!! I am preaching to choir here arni.

amazingly white background, I'm wondering how you pulled it off.

Was this taken in snow? I like the edgy composition. You have the zones covered among the face, background and jacket. The shirt, although it's lovely, is too bright. I'd go with a darker one. (this may be a repeat. There was a glitch when I entered)

I love the framing and focus of this shot. An excellent entry for black and white, too. Very nice job with the lighting... how'd you pull this effect off?
