Boss

Thats a nice portrait Dan, really like the rim light on the side. Personally I prefer the colour version.
 
Unless you have had a gender change or a extremely rich individual you are not the boss :)

Personally think the colour works best.
 
Cool photo great pov/pose. Did you modify the speedlights ? Could you say where they were placed too if you don't mind sharing. I see the one behind the shoulder /rim :)
Ditto the above re the colour.

One speedlight in a 38cm softbox practically in my face
One bare speedlight on the same side fire behind me, the spill lit the black velvet a little and the wall to the side which reflected and filled my face on the other side - bonus!

I can see how I'd quite like four lights :D

That's a nice shot Dan, and the lighting is very nice. I like both of them but if I had to choose then it would probably be the colour version.(y)

Fab shot, colour is spot on for me...and I still can't quite put my finger on who you look like!

This is in the corner of a bedroom :) I kept tripping over things..
 
He looks like Paul Hollywood!

As for the phots looking good Daniel, I love the colour one but you know I am obsessed with B&W currently.

Good job though

:) No the feeling.
We happen to have one of those log cabins which houses my Daughters drums in the back garden. I thought it would be a faff using it for photos, as I would have to keep bringing my gear back to the house but recently I have used it and it's been ok. Mind you I only take photos for myself as you have here.

Thanks for the set up image. I have never tried two lights from the same side plus one light being hard and the other soft seems to make for a striking image.

I think the wall to the right helped the image, so a reflector or something on that side would be needed to replicate the 'look' :) or just make your own look

Nope.. that's not it... this has been driving me nuts since another once of his posts... cross between a young Billy Joel and a young Ben Afleck maybe?
