As most would be aware nearly 100% of my shooting is geared towards motorsport. So when i was given the opportunity to have a go at some portraits (semi-formal and formal) I grabbed it with both hands. Here is an example of what I have achieved so far. Your comments are always welcome.

    I too think this looks great, but if this is for a business you'll probably want the light slightly more even. There's too much shadow on the left side of his face (the right as you're looking at it) for a business photo in my opinion. But, I like it :)

    I agree with Christina about the need for some more fill. For most business type portraits, I would think this is just a tad too dramatic.
