Tonight's photo is a portrait of my brother Elijah. When taking it the goal was to get a photo like the one of Noah I posted a while ago (
found here), but it ended up going in a whole other direction. Elijah's darker hair, eyes, and skin made the faded look I used on Noah impossible and I couldn't get the lighting quite right. Plus, he couldn't pull off the serious, stare-into-your-soul look I captured on Noah. While editing I toyed around with several possibilities, but I settled on this very dramatic black and white look.
As was the case with Noah's portrait, the lighting in this is just superb, Grace.
