This was shot on my back porch last summer in 95 degree heat. 36" Westcott Rapid box camera left & rim light camera right. Edited using LUTs in PS

Looks good. I think his arms could be lightened a bit to better match his facial tones, but overall very nicely done.

I agree. That's the fall off of the light, because it was so close to his face (I had to take it out of the shot), but still I think I should have addressed it. Thanks for commenting

I like the light fading down his body, adds depth. Same lighting everywhere I think would make it more flat. Highlights on the face seem a bit harsh, and if the lighting could be spread out across the right side of the image, subject may not appear as 'sweaty'

I wanted a little bit of a gritty feel about this shot, but the heat & humidity of the day were not conducive, but had to shoot at that time or not at all. A studio would have been handy to have. Thanks for the feedback
