a Client asked to me made to look like a 'Gangster or Tough Guy' -- I did the Portrait Session 20 Jan 2011 and printed again yesterday on some Old ( but FREE!) Ilford 'Gallerie D/W Glossy Grade 3 ( gone 'SOFT)
Very nice control of lighting! I like how his head is cleanly delineated from the background, the bright but subtle highlights, and the just-enough shadow detail. He looks like he would make a good bodyguard for a plutocrat...
