After looking at Steve Pyke's portrait photographs I decided to chose this one because I have taken a similar photo myself and have selected it as one of my final three for my Uni portraits project. I will be uploading them later, so stay tuned. I like how close up it is, he has chose to crop it, I think, to focus simply in the face, the person. He has cropped almost all of his portraits like this and has shot them all in black and white also. It looks like there is only one light used and is to the left of this man and creates Rembrandt lighting on the right side of his face which is below his eye and appears similar to a triangle. Both his eyes are jet black and on his left eye (our right when looking) you can just see the white of his eye. The background he has chosen to use is black and the reason for this I would have thought would be to create the effect of the person blending in to the background with the shadow.
