Andreas

Shooting with Andreas last Tuesday.

Stefan - this is a lovely photo. I would crop it square just below the heel of the hand and remove the hair(?)or shadow on the right side.... seemt he rest is just a distraction from this stunning and piercing look!

As I suppose everybody that has shot at least two portraits knows, side lighting is almost the only way to shoot a man. Not only do you have a perfect amount of light; but it is well distributed making the textured face even more the subject. The arm, curved hand with hat's brim, loss of one eye all make this the work of a photographic artist. Not sure I like the leaf.

Excellent lighting and really does a great job making him masculine. The only issue I've got is with what I assume is a tattoo intruding into the photo. It's really quite distracting. Otherwise, great job!
