| I love film noir but would totally suck at this challenge (not a creative bone in my body). |

Link to some really great film noir portraits. Be sure to keep clicking "next" at the end of the row to see them all. Terrific stuff in there.
I love this style and would think it would be a great challenge. :) |

I suggested that same idea a couple of months ago. They never listen to me, oh wait, yet they did (landscape in portrait, portrait in landscape)
I love the film noir idea. Then they can say "it isn't too dark." ha ha ha |

  Here are my two Noir's. This would be a fun challenge in about a month or so as I think many people may be burned out on B&W after the recent challenge.

I don't have any venetian blinds, or a gun for that matter.

I like this suggestion but I'd rather see this one pushed back a bit since we just had a self portrait challenge not to mention the portrait in landscape challenge.
Of course I'm probably being a bit bias since I don't do well in portrait challenges. Also, there's a small part of me that says lets prevent people like Qart, Cindi, Judi, Arti-Elvi and the rest of you guys who are great at this sort of thing. :P |

Well, you've got me really hooked - i'm totally blown away by some of those images - I really want to have a shot at this style, but I have no experience of studio work whatsoever - any advice on what equipment / setup would get me started ? ... I guess i'd need some kind of (trans)portable lighting set-up that could be used 'on location' - Any pointers whatever would be a real help... please assume I'm a total dummy on studio lighting - you cannot possibly talk down to me!
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this... |

I think Louis could nail this one.
He's got an eye for noir. Check out his portfolio. |
