Response to Not quite a portrait

Hey John... when you reshoot, try a few from a lower point of view, which would give more emphasis on his face, and less of the dual hotspots on the dome. Now that I think about it, maybe a black cloth from one side of the tree out to his right (camera's left) would remove one hot spot, and serve the second purpose of creating more modeling of the contours of his face. Maybe a flying black flat, above and to his right (again, your left) would do the same for the hotspot, yet still give a nice keylight effect on his jawline/cheek, which would seperate his face from his neck (got a 'roid back for the rb?). A turtle neck would help with this last seperation issue, as well, but might not be his style... t
