1st Low Key Attempt

[Rob4bama]

I'm a beginner so I wanted to try this. Maybe use it as portraits for the high school football team where I teach. Shower curtain and shop light in front of an open door in my garage. Topaz adjust filter (Gritty I) in photoshop. Would love any advice to make it better. Thanks!

I think not bad. Three days of avoiding the razor pays off handsomely making the face "tough". Maybe the left eyebrow caught too much light creating bright spot on the shadow side of the face, and just maybe the shadow side should be or darker or a bit brighter. Right now I can see just an "unnerving" ghost.

I like it. There's a subdued intensity to it.

"I swear officer, THAT is the dude that stole my wallet!"

"Are you sure?"

"Well, pretty sure. Well, I think that's they guy...the thief WAS a MAN...I mean...well, what I mean is..."

"You're free to go!"

Okay...the split lighting seems pretty dramatic. I might try cropping off a little bit more space on the right hand side of the frame.
