Description

Amazing, wow! I have to ask, how on earth did you achieve those colour tones?

Each has it's advantages, and (predictably) the ideal is somewhere between the two.
The colouring definitely works a lot better in this than in it's sepia counterpart - sepia is the wrong kind of mood for this situation, and it's a lot moodier like this. It's also a very nice tone here anyway
Unfortunately, though, this is also a lot more of a clichΓ©. Although it's done nicely, with the thirds and the lighting, the fact is it's been done before, many times. Thomas Yung is a more dynamic composition, with more movement. It's not quite perfect - he's too close to the left border, the tunnel end might have been better on a horizontal third - but it shows thinking and creativity. You could have made more of the lighting, it's quite interesting how the closer light stops halfway down the wall, yet the next light covers the floor, so perhaps positioning him under that light would have had a more intriguing effect, as well as placing him further into the photo. As it is, you can just about get away with having him so close to the edge because he's looking inward and draws you in, but for a portrait of the guy you've chopped half of him off
Both photos have interesting textures, they're probably brought out more in this one just because you're closer, although TY has some interesting cracks along the ceiling to pull you in. I like the focusing effect you have on this one, as it's very subtle, you only really notice it when you look at the floor but it definitely guides your eyes in. I'd have healed out the scrap of paper on the left border, though, it's too small an element to be anything other than distracting.
So, to summarise this 2-in-1 comment (that's value for money), the idea from TY is better, but you managed to execute this one better

this one is more misterious, the colors create a better enviroment and the model is more "in" the photograph. there are details, that make it interesting.

in my opinion this one is about 10X better. the lighting and color tones really help to make this feel a lot more underground or rough than the first portrait.

Every picture tells a story and I think this one is no different. There's so much one can infer from your piece, which I think is the aim of good photography. But i think it'd be more artistic if the smoke was being blown out in clouds instead of a puff. But then again, the puff works with the whole rough surroundings of the subject.. So that's ok too.

for me this is much better... the contrast and the perspective is better... and this light from the top is awesome

This is loads beter than 'Thomas Yung'. Love the lighting, composition and frontal angle.

I love the lighting on this, and the smoke.. it makes the model look very mysterious and dark, like a "bad boy". I also love the textures on the wall and how clear the photo is. Great work!

i prefer this to the Thomus Yung one. its kinda different and the lights and darks are nicer and in more contrast
π: 0 β©: 0
Well, I prefer this one over Thomas Yung .
As it's been said, the ligting in this one put much more emphasis on the personality of the model and the lighting is much stronger here (for a portrait).
Regarding the smoke, I'm not really sure it adds something here, I find it nearly distracting with this light... On the other hand, I really like the paper under the shoe, it adds some dynamics to the symmetry of the model and works well in relation to the dark background on the right.
Nice work

wow! awesome! great shadows and the smoke is just perfect!

I really like the lighting in this. Back lighting worked very well. However, I don't like how the smoke looks, almost fake. Perhaps the setting you had your camera on isn't smoke friendly? Maybe if the face had a little less detail and you could see the smoke, it would have given a more mysterious effect. Other than that nice, very nice.

Beauitful composition. I love the lighting.

Smoking is bad for you... but it definately adds a really great effect, the colors are really nice too.
Good job

haha, for this shots i had to smoke a lot for fx!
I'm the Model... not the photograph.

In my opinion the subject of the "Thomas Yung" photograph is primarily the architecture. My eye naturally travels across the image from the left to the right and then lingers at the far end of the tunnel and my mind engages in speculation as to what might be down there. The actual person in the photograph is more of an atmospheric element than the location itself. In this photograph I have a completely different response. The person is obviously center of interest and the surroundings add atmosphere to him not the other way around if that makes any sense... You did a great job of capturing the smoke in both images.
Thanks for sharing with us, keep up the good work and take care!
