I was doing a headshot session with this person. This was an unposed test shot that I loved once I made it black and white.

The photo is not creepy, but the lighting on the face immediately gave me Silence of the Lambs vibes. I appreciate that the face has retained some shape still, though it's more subtle. Really very cool lighting to be honest
Maybe that was in my mind subconsciously when I was editing it. The lighting was just my typical headshot setup. A pretty model helps, too.
