trying to figure out how you lit this, can’t be the monitor. One shot or two joined? …or light to the camera left behind you a little and you desaturated your face? Great idea, looks cool – the light works well, does look like monitor light.
Thanks I hand held the strobe below my face and out a bit and did a B&W layer in photoshop to do the selective color thing. I don’t usually do selective color but I joined a group for it yesterday and thought I would give it a go.
This is a great picture. I struggle with self portraits. It’s an area I really want to improve upon. I not only like the way you composed the shot, but the way it is lit is incredible. Keep up the great work!
Ron — thanks for your comments I really appreciate it. For this photo I used one strobe below my face at about 1/128th power (maybe 1/64 — can’t remember).

Cool shot, and I like the selective coloring. I’ve just started experimenting with that myself.

I love the selective color
Hey Jeff – Great Pic!! Small world. I will have to keep dialed into your page. I love photography – but don't have the time for now. Someday.
