The question is: What sort of person is Ole Dan?
Is he a sober and reflective sort? Then #1 might be best.
Is he relaxed and casual? Then #2.
Is he given to melancholy? Then perhaps #3.

See if you can get hold of a copy of 'Train Your Gaze' by Roswell Angier. It's
an excellent and practical guide to portrait photography. Camera angles tend to
be gimmicky and looked tired very quickly. Besides, Cartier-Bresson was very
scathing about them. The key to portrait photography is

Tim -
Being different for it's own sake is seldom if ever, a successful
asthetic.
The best portraits are where the personality and character of the one
you are photographing is revealed in them without
your style and personality getting in the way.
I suspect you model (friend of yours?)
Both are valid points Ann.
BTW. The first one is 20% photography and 80% rendering.

I liked the first and the second most.
The first has the old-time look and the second has a natural feel about it.
The last one might have been better for me, if the foot was not
fighting for attention.
Bulent.

Would advise removing any glistening facial areas. I see a few in these shots.
Would apply to all bare skin areas for that mater.

I find this one a bit odd. The 50/50 center-of-face light split and the bright
spot in the shadowed eye make it look a bit spooky. If a bit of a horror-movie
look was your goal, it succeeds. As an attractive portrait it doesn't work for
me.

I had looked only at the first. I went back to see the rest. I agree in regard
to the odd camera positions, as noted by Bruce below, although I think the
second shot (first color) is okay in that regard. But I find a bit too dark and
oversaturated.
