Get Pushed Challenge 474
My partner this week challenged me to lighting like Rembrandt lighting. This lighting is tough. Especially when posing by oneself.
@jacqbb Thank you for this challenge. I really spent time trying to get the lighting right and ended up getting a bit of Photoshop help to help with the shadows.
Portraits are always good in black and white but Rembrandt didn't really work in the genre. However the chiaroscuro is exactly how he would have done it. good job!
@jb030958@haskar@olivetreeann Thank you Jennie, Hannah and Ann. The serious look is more Rembrandt-y, don't you think? And the challenge was about the light.
oh, yes, i see where you did your touch up. but did you have to? i thought you got the lighting right so need not do the touch up. also, what's the colour of those eyes? they look gorgeous!
The lighting is perfect and so dramatic!
A superb portrait and A FAV!
