ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This simple portrait of a young skydiver and amateur film-maker has been made during an unexpected long-lasting pause between jumps. After removing his uniform and wearing civilian clothes, he posed in a makeshift studio. I used two lights: a continuous one from the above and a flash light from the left. The result was a split lighting pattern with the desired moderate-high contrast.
