Low-Key Son

Hello... I've missed you all! Been one of those weeks (la plus ca change...)
Anyway - I was challenged by Mei Photography to do a low-key portrait. It took some bribery but ultimately I was allowed to take a shot of George, in the dark, with only his laptop screen lighting up his face. I quite like it - not least because it hides his messy bedroom!! I hope you all appreciate the risks I took simply going in there.... hahaha!
I'll try to catch up in reverse order not flooding your feeds. Thanks for calling by :)

@mei_photography Here's the portrait - hope it suits the bill and is what you were thinking of. :)

Great portrait - but going into a teenage boy's bedroom was above and beyond the call of duty.

I really like this Phil...the light is lovely & up light off the screen gives a lovely glow. He was a star to let you take his photo never mind the messy bedroom...aren't all teenagers bedrooms messy!
George has a nice face!

@filsie65 love it. Really well done and especially so for convincing your son to help with this. I like the lighting from the laptop. It gives it a great natural feel to the portrait.
