7/10 Is that a candle lamp? lol
Maybe change up the scene a little. Instead of having the lamp as part of the focus have a small short glass there and the lamp just shining the light on the scene. Have it cropped in tighter and more focused on the book and exposed a little longer.
Thanks.
I wish I could get some back lighting, but for the moment I only have 1 flash/ light source. I composed the bokeh light above his head cause I was thinking it looked like a light bulb like he had an idea pop in his head. He liked it so I kept it.
I should be doing a ballet shoot and another shoot with a MMA ring girl soon and well see how those pics turn out.
Here is, dare I say it, my momma lol.

I love the harsh lighting.
The DOF is great.
Love the bokeh and IQ.
Things that imho could improve the photo would be to have some back light on the back of his head (very little) as the back lighting on his head is great. Though the lack of this doesn't make the photo bad and it could just come down to preference.
The different lighting shapes in the bokeh is slightly distracting.
Thanks for posting this. I look forward to seeing your pics.
