Brian

Brian, the subject of this portrait is a amateur artist. He'd asked me to take a reference photograph of a still life which he wanted to paint at a later date. Afterward I got him to sit in his favourite arm chair and holding his pipe (he is the last of the pipe smokers) as he watched television.

I lit Brain from the side using a single Nikon SB800 flashgun to mimic the lamp. I taped a 1/2 CTO filter to the sb800 and zoomed it to 105mm to create the narrowest beam of light.

Camera: D200
Lighting: SB800 with 1/2 CTO Filter
