Comment by Jaded_Housewife:
yeah, did you use the shoot through umbrella? maybe move it back further and add the other light on the other side. at like 10 and 2 from your face.

Mike, nice to see you again. Nothing to say about the harsh light, you owe me a visit to the eye doctor LOL wait were is my keyboard.

You haven't practiced the smile, but what can I say.

Maybe a white sheet in front of the light source to diffuse/distribute more evenly? Good job though, Mike! ...and NO, I don't like your PJs. :P

Comment by SJCarter:
I like the pose and POV. Not crazy about the lighting - it's a tad strong on your face & pillow. However, good job thinking outside the box. :-)

Nice one mike, it looks like it is the light that is directly to your left that is too bright, but I think Louis gave good advice on how to fix that. The composition is alittle tight but works to bring us in closer to your environment. sweet Pj's, but they are no match for my ninja boxers! ha!

Mike, hairy nipples just don't do it for me - sorry ;)

Laid-back is good, and the location gives a tiny bit more insight about you. The repeating pattern of the PJ's reduces how obvious your crotch is (THANK GOD!!!)

all pervy jokes aside... its actually an interesting shot; even if you DO look stoned!

I like the PJs, I'm still envious you have lights, and I'm really wondering if you can convince Louis to do a shot in his PJs with axes and "Timber!" on them. Can you work that for me? And for one of yours, set yourself up like one of Louis' dark and moody portraits and play with that. I think you'd look great like that.

Nice casual pose! Good color, too. Love the PJs!! I'm on the same band wagon w/the light on face and the rectangle in the right corner. Nice job!

Originally posted by cryingdragon: I also had one strobe directly to my left and one 45 degrees to my left, with the on-camera flash directly in front of me.

TWO strobes? Who are you, again? Isn't this the guy who was balancing a single lamp on chair in the last go-round?

You might be able to rescue your face with some brightness/contrast adjustments. I'd also clone out the white rectangle in the upper right.
