I love the lighting, feels like you're in the same room as him.
Isn't it funny how often the unplanned and impromptu shots end up being keepers.

If you can't say something nice about Pentax, you won't say anything at all.

Personally I like it a great deal. The slightly bright light on his nose (I assume because he was too close to the 'key'? I have never done studio work) actually emphasises the pose with his finger and works very well, in my humble opinion.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I think the detail of the skin, the talk of the eyes and overall pose ask for hard B&W approach.Brighten up the eyes and let them do the speaking.
Hope you get what I mean.

This was unplanned and grabbed, the last shot of the session, he leaned forward an ended up too close to the key but I quite like it. What do you think?
