The Business Man

By Lance  
This is a portrait I did of an amateur rapper, taken at his usual place of work.

A very commercial look but I love it! Hope you like it too! All comments are welcome!

Overall a nice shot, good comp good POV very contemporary processing style and a nice idea. One thing that detracts slightly (for me) are the highlights on his face and hand. Other than that, a cracker.

Its almost in the style of the USA photographer Dave Hill only has not gone as far with the dodge and burn.

Great use of the wide angle lens. only thing i would have done based on the title is remove the mike.

I agree with Mark, and would like to add that I would have preferred to have seen his eyes open - but otherwise an excellent idea and well executed.

Thanks for all the great comments so far and the highly commended award! I was thinking about toning down the highlights, wish I had now!

a cracking image!
(ps.personally i would only tone down the highlights very slightly)
it's a fabulous POV & pose, and his suit colour is gorgeous!

Agree about the highlights, although obviously the select panel dont think its an issue so well done.
