Notes:
While this is the third photo in the series, it is one of the last photographs I shot. I used only natural light from a window throughout the shoot, but I tried various filters, diffusers, and setups to determine how to get the best results. I think this is the best of the portraits in terms of lighting. My hands are detailed and nicely rendered. There is also a lot of contrast and detail in my hair. I particularly like the lighting around my thumb and eye. This photo is based on one of Irving Penn’s portraits of Yves Saint Laurent.
