Youth, Palazzo Medici-Riccardi, Florence

Cool picture and cool light.

A lot of the time I was in Italy it was gray and overcast, so I had a giant natural softbox for a light source on almost every shot. For some that works better than others, like in this case- it helped open up his face without the need for burning and dodging to get his eyes visible.

This is a really excellent portrait/ street shot, and those stones are really imposing. Your Italian shots are getting better and better.
