Hi Todd....Thanks for the look and comment. I really dident do a lot of processing on this one and to be honest with I really do not even remember.
I shot this to be a dark toned kinda mystery like image. I had been working with Brenon for about 4 or 5 months. I had met him in walmarts and we somehow struck up a conversation about modeling and photography and he was telling me how he has always wanted to do modeling but with being in a small town in no where america he really dident know where to begin. I told him that I has been taking the NYI course in photography and that I had a small studio in the large den in my house. So we decided we would help each other out. I told him his first step was to build a portfolio up. Both him and I needed that. We worked and worked.....After some time we had some nice prints built up......He got hired into a big modeling agencie up in Tulsa.....
Beginners luck! Ha
All I really remember doing here is I put a key light to the camera left shooting through an umbrella and I had a fill light just to the right of the camera. Im sure I did a lot of dodging and burning and mostly worked on the back ground to get it the way I wanted it. Sorry I can't be anymore help.
Thanks for the comment......

I really like this. At first I thought I'd like to see a little more detail in the shadow area (his lower body) then I wondered if it wasn't just PC making it look a little too dark. I opened your shot up in PS and it looked perfect!
Terrific portrait, Paul.
