I had one work light up in the closet just behind me on my right side and and another worklight about 3 feet behind me just off my left shoulder and a foot or so above my head. Then I aimed the mirror just in front of me on the left side so that it reflected both lights to be on me.
Very interesting portrait. Love the b&w. Focus is perfect as is the lighting. The smoke and the hair really make this great! I like how the thumb rests below the cheek. Excellent photo!
I like this better than the other day (was it Left Eye). The smoke completely obscuring the left eye, the buttons on the shirt, the texture of the coat and the consistency of the light on the hand (in the other shot its just one fingertip that's bright).
Again.. awesome lighting here jd. Yikes - get a fire extinguisher! (a bit heavy on the smoke, maybe?) I think i liked Day 5 a bit better - it seemed a bit more natural, yet there's something about the piercing focus effect on your eye this one!
