This shot was meant to show a more vulnerable side of Jack, and to express more of the way that I envision men. I feel like often men try to put on this masculine facade that I see right through. To me, vulnerability shows more strength than trying to cover up one's weaknesses with the macho facade, which to be frank I find boring and uninspiring.
I really love this shot, and love the sort of insight it shows into Jack's softer side, but I feel like I could have done better. I don't like that the lower portion of his body is out of focus. I had my aperture set wide open to f/2, and with the available light I wasn't able to get a super fast shutter speed at a low ISO setting. I would love some advice to be able to shoot at a slower aperture to capture more detail in low/moody lighting conditions, but not have to really boost up the ISO super high. I'm shooting on a 5D classic, so noise becomes a bit of an issue above 800 ISO. Perhaps a tripod would help? I rarely use a tripod, although I have one. I also prefer not to use artificial lighting. What would you suggest? At this point, I really like the shot, but want to re-take it in order to capture a better version of it.
