Beautiful image, well lit and of an outstanding composition, wishing you all of the best.

Nice one.. but lack of  sharpness...

Very nice! Best regards, Ilkka

I'm just continually amazed at the creativity of the images like this that I see on PN.

So simple, yet so striking!

Beautiful idea and composition.

If I may ask, how do achieve the blackness that envelopes most of the frame? Is it by keeping the subject a distance away from a black background in a dark room and then using flash? Is it largely done in post-processing? Will be most obliged for any clues. Thank you.

Stunning.

Thank you to all of you for your comments :)

@ a n: blackness is achieved using black b/g and filtering natural light from a window on one side (No flash in this shot, just natural light which I much prefer for lighting). Spot metering on white part of the face and a little bit of post-processing to raise the black. I hope you find it helpful. All the best. AL
