Ton- Musician's Portrait

DanOstergren · Feb 11, 2019

Another portrait I shot the same day as Leon. This guy's name is Ton. I shot him in the same single light beauty dish setup as I did for Leon's portrait, however for this shot I added a white v-flat for some subtle fill.
Shot on a Canon 5D Classic with a Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens attached, set to f/3.2, 1/160th sec, ISO 100.
Skin editing was done via masked curves adjustment layers used for dodge and burn.
As always, my photos are open for criticism.

Love the pose for this one. Wouldn't work for most people but this gives an Egyptian Pharaoh feel to it.

Fabulous lighting, perfect for him!

First thing that came to mind was Egyptian prince soon to be Pharoh. Stunning shot, I think this is my favorite shot of yours, and that's saying a lot. The lighting is just right and his eyes really come to life. :encouragement:

Thank you! When he showed up at the studio and I first saw him, I immediately started thinking about how I could craft light to really enhance his features.

Thank you so much! He really does look like a prince, and it helps that he's 6'5 to add to the power in his presence.
