No external flash...no problem. Just used my phone

Way dark, Josh! It might would work if you had a little more background separation (rim light / hair light) but you just blend into the background. A floating head effect, basically!

Well, you see, i was going for that. I wanted to really represent something in this photo. I wanted to blend with the background, kinda like my personality. But u are right, i don't want it to come of as if i'm 'dark'. I think perhaps if i tried some high key, then that would be a better interpretation

Not bad... What if you went with a portrait crop and converted to grayscale.... Like this...

 

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

Wow, that does help the fluency of the photo, thx!

 

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

bump!

It's good, Joshua, but it doesn't exude your more truer and friendly personality.

 

[JoshuaSimPhotography]

Yeah I was just testing how lighting can effect the mood of the picture, i'm gonna try some high key photography next!

You look angry
i liked this image very mcuh; i think bus rider's trim has helped it more

Nice eye,bro! Seriously? I think the image is too dark, and is lighted in a very unorthodox manner, and one that just is not flattering. No matter how the shot is cropped.

As i said guys, i was seeing how i could manipulate a pic, just with simple adjustments
