Day 14 - tonight we have a very contemporary image of my son. I don't think this will be one for the wall but it does give him a very haunting look.
The technical details; taken on a 5D with a 70-200mm lens; settings were ISO 100, 1/125 sec at f8. The portrait was lit with 3 studio lights and a 580 EX II. The key light was above and in front of him, fitted with a snoot and set to f8, two of the lights were positioned either side of Alex pointing towards the sides of his face and set to f5.6, and the 580 was to Alex's left zoomed in to 105mm, fitted with a grid and a blue cover and pointed onto the curtain behind. A bit of boost on some of the colours, and removal of others, in Lightroom and there we go.
The highlight of the evening for me was that when I showed Alex the finished image he said "that's quite cool"; which is high praise indeed.
