He sure does look evil like this :) Wicked lighting on the face, how did you do that? I suppose the light came from below?

A clear demonstration of why the flash is normally mounted above the lens. This one exaggerates the effect deliberately. I'm wondering exactly where the flash is located . . . it had to be off camera and well below the camera angle. Reminiscent of the Bella Lugosi camera and lighting angles in the old horror movies. A fun portrait! -- John

I think the S is for spooky in this case! The highlights in his hair add to the effect.
