Hello all,

I finally found the opportunity to try out one sided lighting and I think it came out quite nicely. For these shots, I made a friend to act as my model. It was quite funny how he would have to alter his pose after every shot! Quite a charming lad, isin't he?



Lens = Nikkor 50mm AF 1.8D
Focal Length = 50mm
Aperture = f/1.8
Shutter Speed = 1/60 sec.
ISO Rating = 500

Nice eye contact in both of these, and on one hand I really like these, and on the other, they are a little unusual. Your choice of framing, and other objects in shot, I think make these feel different (but not necessarily different in a bad way) to what I'd usual expect from a portrait.

Your friend definitely has interesting features, that make him a good candiate for photos, just not 100% sure what the locations adds to the overal story.

I can't see the photos - red crosses apear instead.

I like the lighting. Is that from a large window, or doorway?

Focus nice and sharp.

I have never on this forum been able to see any of Kamran's shots. His image hosting server uses a weird port that my firewalls (at home and at work) simply don't allow outbound:

Cools pics. The emerging stair rail from the left shoulder in the first picture is not the best set up (little distracting), but i quite like the composition and conversion in the second shot. Nice and sharp.

A quick 2-minute clone job.

I like this better now Kamran. The background lets the subject be all that you notice.

Kamran, I like the first, cloned and uncloned. The background gives a small sense of his life (or the part we are allowed to see).
