Portrait of a Pianist

Comments would be nice, thanks.

Good exposure, nice skin tone, great composition, sharp focus. The light reflecting from his forehead detracts slightly from the picture; perhaps a diffuser on the light source or makeup powder on his forehead would help.

interesting shot, I love the lighting on his face, I think it would be nice if his right hand were lit too because it seems this guy is obviously a piano player. The shot feels like it has to have a story behind, who is the person in the background? relative, piano instructor?

 

very nice

Larry is a classical concert pianist, the person on the background is his teacher Pauline. Thanks for you comments.

A really well compose shot. Even the portrait within a portrait of the woman works well. It is distracting but it still works. Facial lighting just a bit harsh.

A very clean, clear portrait. Very nicely done!

Great portrait of a pianist. I like the informal pose, that makes the subject more approachable. At first I thought the picture on the wall was a bit distracting (it could have been an evil mother-in-law) until I read that this was the man's teacher. Now it makes sense, especially if she was instrumental in teaching him.

Nice environmental portrait. Perhaps a small gap above the picture on the wall would improve it a shade, and perhaps a touch shiny on the forehead, but this is nitpicking really. Well set up, super photo.

Hi, Javed. Thank you for inviting me here, great folder, well done portraits. I like this one the best. Did you ever shoot him playing with hands at work? Thank you, enjoyed. Galina
