Handsome lad, well photographed. The grandparents should be pleased.

Was it shot with the taking lens or the viewing lens? :wink:
 
Super portrait. Am surprised by lack of distortion e.g. enlarged nose. What distance was camera from subject? I too use a tlr but tend to rely on enlarger to provide the required image size.
 
Thnaks, it was made at a distance of around a foot, maybe a foot-and-a-half (Rolleinar 2 range is ~30-50cm). The strobe kits was quite close also, a small Sunpak wired and on a stand and cranked-down to about 1/4 power even with the umbrella.
 
having met you< I can see this as you as a young man. reat job, I love everything about it
 
The grandparents will be very pleased. It's a beautiful photograph!!!
 
Bjorke, what a simple, fine portrait of a nice looking young man. So much better than the posed studio crap that many seem to prefer. We seem to have that approach in common in our portraiture. Check ou t some examples at my website-- www.mikesebastianphoto.com --and don't tell our fellow APUGer's that I do shoot the odd digital image or two :sad:
Best, Mike
