I used photoshop to dodge the end of Jack's hand and the cuff of his sleeve where the light is hitting it to make it stand out more, like how the light is hitting the side of his face. I used split lighting when I took this photograph, which makes it more dramatic and atmospheric. I have also found that it is a very flattering lighting effect, and it is often used for magazine covers or film posters due to its wide range of use. I used a black background to highlight the lighting on the subject, and the focus on Jack's face and hand is sharp. The clothing is slightly illuminated so that it is visible, but not too much as to distract from the overall effect of the image, and the focus of it which is the subjects pose and expression. I think that this image is quite a successful emulation of Neil Turner's photograph, and that if I did it again the only thing I would alter is perhaps a subtle change in the composition or angle of the shot.
