Layne is a friend who I tend to photograph once or twice a year when I'm feeling inspired or want to try something out. He's very photogenic and loves to be in front of a camera, so it's a win/win. This is a shot from our most recent shoot, which was last August. Funnily enough I wanted to photograph him because I wanted to try a new location out, but the only shots I seemed to like were from below using the sky as the backdrop, which could have been taken practically anywhere.
Lit with natural light and the white side of a disc reflector for fill. Shot using an original Canon 5D with a Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro lens attached. Settings were 1/320th sec, f/10, ISO 320.
I think if you flipped this to B&W it would really be far more dramatic and dynamic and would make his expression really pop more so than the color version. I really like the expression he's given you and you captured.

Initially I wanted to make this one black and white, but was honestly having a hard time getting it to look right to my eye, but I liked the natural tones of the color shot as an alternative. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
