So often with portrait photography people stick to traditional techniques of even lighting, but sometimes it's nice to mix it up a little. These cool portraits all take advantage of harsh lighting and shadows to produce dramatic results reminding us that convention can sometimes be successfully ignored.

That’s quite an intimidating portrait there, Ken. 😉
These kind of images are a lot of fun to create. Here is a self portrait of me.
