An experimental shot. Trying to go for mood over technical 'perfection'. Interested in comments and critiques.

Please feel free to comment and critique.

Excellent aesthetical result, Lucas! I do not know too much about studio shots, but I like what I'm seeing here.

I definetely like where you're going..

- Greetings, L.

well... you know me, i'm more confortable with 'documentary photos', still i like studio work too. I like this shot, not becouse is b/w, but my first impression is that i found it too balanced, you know? It's like there is no 'mystery mood' like in your other shots, their are all poses, sure, but this one is like too much pose... I think this shot it's very "perfect" -technically speaking! I think I'll never achieve your perfection in studio lighting. Very Nice Photo, Luc... Again! (when you are gonna shoot in the street!) :-D

I really like the pose; the armslead back to the face in a wonderful counter-clockwise circle.

 

I'm curious. What mood did you mean to convey? I see fatigue & perhaps some apprehension. Is this what you were oing after?

Well, I'd say you've got the mood, now try WITH technical perfection at the same time...:-) No, that's not incompatible...

By the way, where have you been all this while...? Cheers.
