Favorite Chiaruscoro Photograph

I like this photograph because the range of contrast I believe has been successfully captured. For example: The lighting isn’t too strong leading to a nice, balanced exposure and the lighting to not be too harsh. I also like how the light gradually gets darker from lighter as we go further across the objects face. This makes the lighting more sensitive in the sense that it appears more personnel. Also I like how the objects jumper compliments the shadow in the face, showing him and his clothes as one object. Also, to compliment the objects face, like how the hair color reflects the lighting effectively to have a similar shine to that of the light.
