Game ON!

Should i leave the overhead light or crop tighter ?

This was not posed and no strobes etc

Wanted to have a gritty / competitive look and feel

Any input highly appreciated !

I think the overhead light should stay because it helps to motivate the light from above and gives a sense of environment too. You could even punch up the highlights on the overhead light so it's a nice strong source that matches what's hitting his mask. I like the gritty dark look of the image but he does get a little lost in the shadows. I would love to see a little rim light around his edge but you could also stylize the image further and really push the highlights and shadows to make the image more intense and almost graphic. Lots of ways to go!

Thank you Robert for the input. Much appreciated. The idea is to make large posters for the team. for this i would need to stage them with appropriate lighting

Paige's booth portrait

Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.
