I like his portraits.  I think he shoots large format a lot of time.  But the expression is so nature, you can see the personality, no CHOK 樣.

If you want to find out the lighting, you can get some cues from what is reflected from the eyes.

If you want to learn how to light, spend a weekend at strobist.com.  Dave is a nice guy and he tells you anything, no secrets, no hold-outs.

But still, I am not getting this batch of cross play photos.  I like the earlier street photos.

I still remember I liked the breaded guy likes the Starbucks logos who is also drinking a Starbucks.  Good observation, whimsical and fun.
