Amazing story behind the man in this image. Before entering the ministry, he owned a photography store and is a great photographer. He stopped by my studio for a book cover shot, and we had a wonderful conversation during the session. As we continued to talk and shoot, I setup the lighting style to match his appearance. It led me in a Rembrandt / baroque / renaissance direction vs typical headshot. I took every lesson learned from listening to Peter critique, but could not bring myself to cut off the cross as it was a big part of his character. Hope you like it!
