This image is my attempt at something low key and on a fitness theme. It's based on an advertising campaign I was shown and was a good opportunity to experiment with lighting.
Some will hate the depth of shadows and contrast. I like it but then I know what I was aiming for - will be doing more of this style at some point. There are however somethings I'd change (slightly lower shooting angle for one). In the original there was a label across the chest which provided some context for the lighting which I think is lacking here.
