This is my favorite picture out of the many i took today. What i specially like about it is how the portrait works with the white space, it seems fairly balanced. In addition to that the light is hitting Josephs face straight, which in my opinion is perfect for this type photos (since he’s facing side ways). I like how the shadows in his hands get darker as it approaches his face. Something i would of liked to change is maybe have a lighter background, i think it would of looked better with this shot.
