Fifth random portrait

Another portrait stolen at the workshop. No fear: just three more to go!
And I know I broke all possible rules for a portrait here but I don't care... ;)

[Caterina]

Wonderful portrait Fomenico. Great light! Fav

[Richard Sayer]

The only thing I would want to change about this is to completely darken the rhs so that we don't see the photos hung on the wall!

[Allison Williams]

Wonderful lighting. You didn’t break the rule that states, Capture a mood.

[Clare Gadsby]

fabulous light and clarity. and i totally agree with richard @vignouse

[gloria jones]

I love the light on that handsome profile, negative space.

[Leon Buijs]

Great light, I kind of like the negative space on the "wrong" side

[Margo Sayer]

IMHO this young man looks as he could be related to you...or you as might have looked when you were younger. Am ducking as missiles skim the top of my head ;-)

[Graeme Stevens]

Excellent lighting

[Helen Jane]

no need for rules when you have a shot like this.

[Julie Duncan]

Rules, schmools! This is great! :)

[KWind]

Stunning portrait!

[Debbie]

Rules... what rules. This is wonderful.

[Marnie]

Rules are made to be broken, or at least bent to one's will. Great lighting on this man's features Domenico.

[Tabbycat]

Stunning. If u broke any rules here, u did so perfectly!!

[Domenico Dodaro]

[Mike Gifford]

Nice looking portrait! Was this a strobe or constant light? I like the faint window in the background it adds to the mystery for sure.

[Marnie]
