Fast and Simple

I took this portrait for an advert in the Wall Street Journal. The guy was really busy, and I had to shoot him at home between conference calls. I had about 15 min to get it done so I kept it as simple as possible: white paper background, patio windows to his right, foam core reflector to his left.

camera: Pentax 67II w/ 90mm
film: Arista Pro 400 in Arista 1:9
f/5.6 @ 1/30th

Nice photo...but maybe its my monitor, it looks like the right side is getting washed out by too much light.

Don't ya just love it?! Seems that the more important the image, the less time allotted for it. Usually what happpens next (in my world) is the client wants to know why I didn't pay more attention to specific details... like, "Why does his collar look 'pulled?'"

Nice job, Matt. I can't imagine what more anyone could do.

On my monitor I can still see the texture of the paper on the right side.
