Louis' profile

I have always found it useful to have a stand-in to test the light before the shoot. Sometimes the picture of the stand-in is better than the subject. Here, I think... I'll just say that I cannot remember who Louis was standing in for.

  2. He looks very noble. I love that he works as your stand-in!

  3. Great shot! Very iconic, and Jill's right, noble. Love the way that white area on his nose contrasts with the black ground. Why though, is the red collar still on? Not sure if he ever did, but this looks like something William Wegman might come up with if he were doing a series of Renaissance portrait pastiches.
