Thanks, Frank. Severance was a pre-planned shot, and fortunately worked out just as Louise and I had envisioned. Morgan specializes in dark psychological and SF dramas and we wanted to depict that.
I agree with you about "Morgan". I shot that just across the table from him, aiming up slightly, wide-angle-ish, so unfortunately subject to distortion. In retrospect I should have allowed more space above his head too, since he's looking upward. (I can likely add some headroom in Ps.) But I was lined up for a series of serious looks when he suddenly laughed at some remark made, so I kinda have to accept it as a lucky grab.
