Nice photograph. Bruce
Antonio,
My favorite thus far of your wonderful series. Background and pose work flawlesslessly, with no extraneous elements, to tell his story.
Thank you guys
This photo is rather "old", when I was trying to use the flashes. There were two of them in this session but I think only one fired at this photograph bounced on white paper at our right.

Hi Antonio,
It's nice to "see" you again nearhere...
it's a very nice image as always, but I'll not spend many words on compliments to not bore you.
I would like to explain to you how I imagine this subject and how I'd like to "capture" it.
I 'd have lighten the boat and his hands with a direct hard light, like the one coming from the work-bench lamp, coming from up-right direction.
Then I'd have lit his face with a softer light (large soft-box? bounced flash) coming from a lower position then the one you used.
In the end a touch of very diffused ambient light to let barely visible the background. just a bit less visible as in your picture, in order make the background less busy and distracting...
Obviously it is what I've in mind but I really don't know if the result may be as good as your...
I know you don't mind for all these words..
hope to meet you soon again
sincerely
Nicola
Thank you Nicola
Yes, you are probably right...
In fact this is a rather old image I have done when I bought my flashes. They were just bounced in a nearby white board...
Thank you Nicola for you kind words
