Bearded pirate

Here's my latest portrait. He plays in a band who dresses up like pirates. I shot their new album cover so he was in my office discussing those photos. I asked him for a quick portrait.

Your gallery is off the hook. Great to see something different. Thanks

Oh, that's so nice of you to say, thank you! I try to find my own thing...

Yeah but that's the point. Originality is lacking in photography these days. Everything is measured by technical crap. Have a great weekend.

:)
You too!

Good stuff man!

meh...

Care to elaborate? :)

Halo shadow effect on his left/top is super weird and just makes me mad... his eyelid behind his nose makes for a weird tangent effect... the beard(while magnificent) is too dark/flat for my liking... did you leave a piece of visible dust on his shoulder... you cropped him at the waist which is generally a bad thing but I'd like to either see his hands or come in a little tighter... head is too close to the top which doesn't allow enough room for the light to affect him or give space for his face to "breath"... especially needed if your model has closed eyes try giving them more room, it really helps.

That's all I got off the top of my head... but kudos for not clipping your blacks!!! *high five*
