This portrait of Luke was shot with him laying on the floor and a light in a soft box lighting him from above. I then attached a 20 degree grid to the front of a Nikon Speedlight and pointed that at his face just right of the camera position. I didn't want to light him from the hard left, which was my first thought, because then I would have gotten some pretty nasty glasses shadows. I wear glasses too, and so I'm always trying to think about the glare, reflection and shadows that they produce.
This is my favorite shot from the bunch, and I think it accurately portrays his quirky, musical, artistic sensibility. If I may say so myself. And I may, because it's my blog. And you may too if you wish, with a simple comment below.

It almost looks like he's falling/sliding down the floor. I love it, ESP. The lighting, which turned out to look way more natural than I'd imagined. PS I have a crush on you.
