Hubby patiently sat for me by the window while I experimented with lighting and shadows.
I managed to get the effect I wanted which was one side of his face high lighted and the other in shadows. I do not have a studio set up, unfortunately, but I did make do with the window.
I am so glad that this week's Flash of Red is all about portraits - I am going to enjoy experimenting!
By the way, he does actually clean his nails with his knife.
Thank you, Ashley - that was what I was aiming for.
Except - I should have backed up a bit more to get more of his chest.
