Some more portraits...

In an earlier blog reflecting on my assignment I mentioned I have some guinea pigs lined up to shoot.

Well here's my bro!

Taken in his tool shed.  You can see the ladders hanging on the wall in the background.  Taken using natural light.  I like the way the light is falling on his face and brings out the textures and curves.  

I feel this shot has a bit of painterly feel to it.  I like the expression.  I dodged and burned the face to bring out the detail and added some contrast and clarity.  

Trying to shoot him indoors drumming wasn't easy (I didn't have a flash).  I'm not sure if I like this shot or not.  I like the way you can see the movement of the drumsticks but I feel that maybe it would be a better composition if you could see more of his face.  I do like the busyness in the scene.  It adds intensity.
