I wasn't quite thinking late last night. When posting I did a quick turn to black n white of the image. Then sharpened. Forgetting I had already sharpened the original.. But i'll take the flack, for my non observance....lol

Oh he wasn't a client Nigel.. Just a fun shoot. Graham likes to dress up.. lol I'm certainly not in client territory with my studio work...
I was going for a mean rugged gangster type look.. To match the outfit.. Didn't quite get it I feel. Then tried to process my way out of it..
The background was a plain black. So looked a bit boring. The subjects shadows then seem to blend. So the second flash as I remember was just at the background to separate and distance the subject. But didn't want to light the whole background so tried to shape it with a reflector and grid.. Just two flash gun's give it a go...

As we were discussing Lighting and portraits on another thread.. Thought I'd show one. This is Graham, who asked me to take his picture... Still not quite worked out why me. As he undertakes paid shoots as a model every week... He must have heard "I don't pay models".….lol
I didn't quite get the processing right, but I feel it nearly has the Peaky Blinders look....!!
For those interested. One light with beauty dish 30 degrees right. One 20 degree gridded to provide a background separation.

Not sure of my shutter count Judith Ann, but I've had my K-3 for about 5 years now and I've experienced the crazy shutter flapping a few times. I've come to the conclusion it is related to low battery power, it behaves itself again when the battery is replaced. I would think yours has plenty of life yet, the shutters are rated at least for 200,000 shots.
I'm not looking to upgrade my K-3 or K-5iis, I don't do commercial photography, I don't display in galleries or exhibitions, it's just for fun. I don't think I'd get any more fun shooting with a K-1, plus I would have to spend a lot of money on new lenses.
