Hey Chris

Interesting attempt, and well done on being confident in front of your camera, but...

Lighting: What's with the shadows on your neck..?
Composition: Why so much white space above you...?
Colours: seem a little flat to me...?

What was the rig/setup used here Chris...? Would be interested to know.

Could have been a bit lower or perhaps have something in top half of the frame. Could always flip the image and have an upside down one as well.
 
Oh dear god.

Do you realise how much you look like Zac Hanson??? :D

Seriously though, I like it, but crop out some space above your head :)
 
Well done for putting yourself up for it.
Why not try the same shot but use some coloured lights to give some interesting shaddows on the wall and round you neck :eek:)
 
cheers for the input.

i deliberately choose to have the dead space above my head so compositionaly for me its how i wanted it.

i had a metz 45 CL4 to the left and a nikon sb-80 to the right. at ISO200 f5.6

how could i improve the lighting? and get rid of the shadows?
 
Actually i quite like the space above your head... makes it more interesting methinks.
Maybe you could fix the shadows a bit with 'fill-flash' on photoshop.

Ok, i reckon you look more like Nick Atkinson, from that band Rooster! It's uncanny.

You're cuter though ;)
