Self portrait

I tend to be a little afraid to use shadows in my portraits, so I did a test on myself. What do you think, is´t to much?

Thanks,
Jonas

That depends entirely on what you're looking to say, in my opinion. It's a strong portrait styled with a somber narrative, and I love it for a story on a brooding artist, someone struggling with something, etc.

Personally, I enjoy it, classic Rembrandt. :)

i like it its pretty good to me

Too much? Nah, looks great.

Use shadows? For me, that's what makes a portrait! I'm not as much a fan of high-key stuff.

As already mentioned, it's all about what you're going for. The lighting here really fits your expression so for me it all works well!
