Monkey Boy

I struggled for ages trying to get a decent shot of him. It didnt matter what I did or said, he did NOT want his picture taking - and it showed.

In the end I used the monkey toy to give him something to cuddle and he relaxed.

Lit from a flash shooting through a white brolly on the right, and filled using the plain wall on the left as a reflector. I used a second flash on the floor behind to light the rear wall.

I then changed the overall image to black and white, and then added a saturation layer and mask for his eyes.

Taken on my Canon D20.
