The highlights on his nose and left cheek are overexposed and the shadows on his right side are underexposed. Also the pose is static and boring with his shoulders turned flat to the camera. The cure? More fill light and a rim light.

The lighting gives him that classic villainous look which really draws you but I don't know if it would work if he's trying to sell houses or insurance. ::Canon 40D::

The cure? More fill light and a rim light. The exposure in # 2 is much better but the pose is still very static and we are looking up his nostrils. The camera should have been about 12 to 18 inches higher. Benji Thanks for your comments Benji. The poses were in accoradance with the magazine's requirements. I'm hoping to get a rim light sometime soon - 2009 xmas wish list maybe. www.CindyLouDale.com

Strictly as portraits, these are great and I would hire you in a heartbeat to take mine! Thanks for your kind words. One of the other portrait photos I took went onto a magazine cover... and as a matter of fact, the subject is a superhero www.CindyLouDale.com
