"HE LOOKS MEAN AND DIRTY"


"He looks mean and dirty" is a line by Eula in the 1958 Southern fried drama,
"The Long Hot Summer".
 It just seems to fit him to a tee!

THE MAN WHO INSPIRES ME


My dear friend Bryant Lanier. Thank you Bryant for bringing new joy and inspiration into my life.
  

So in these two pieces
I went for the old Warner Bros. noir lighting of the 1940's.

I did the color one first and then thought why not go all the way with glamorous black and white. There is a tight hot key light on the face. A soft distant light on the entire figure from the left front and on the right side of the picture and slightly to the back is a hot spot to give him dramatic backlighting.
