Hi /p/, sorry if this isn't really suitable.
I'm going to enter a photography competition soon, and the stimulus is "portraits". ITT, post your favourite photographic portraits, or any you've done yourself, and explain why you like them.
Thanks.
Pic unrelated.

Small version, just so you won't be tempted. :D

Three things I liked about this: the shallow depth of field, the angle and how it catches all three of them and fills the frame nicely, and the detail: look at his glasses.

All this needs is an Apple logo and "Think Different" in the upper righthand corner, heh. He's a psychology prof.

I like this one a lot; he's got a very regal look to him and i like the shadows. Was that shot in black and white, or converted to b/w in photoshop?

Was working on this just as I saw the thread, I tend to enjoy busy backgrounds with an emphasis on color harmony with the subject- It's still dusty and such, plus i sized it down to 10% for posting

Shot with my D50, desaturated in Aperture. I wish I could retake it with Tri-X, honestly. :)
