Emotion-less

I am learning about taking portraits as I embark on a 365 project to improve my photography. My wonderful husband posed for me while I tried to take a slit portrait. I did have to do two edits: 1) convert to B&W 2) Up the exposure.

Try portrait orientation, and drop the watermark.

Not a bad start at all. I second portrait orientation. Here's a link that gives various portrait lighting schemes that may be of use: Portrait Lighting - Portriat lighting set-ups

Thanks CA_. I was actually trying to go for split lighting but plan on practicing Rembrandt as well.
