This image by Steve McCurry is another favourite of mine, its a low-key shot, and I beleive he used a 'snoot' to cast a controlled amount of light onto the man's face. This causes the figure to stand out from the black background, and with the subtle earthy colours of his clothes it almost makes the image almost look like a highly detailed painting. I like how McCurry has cropped the image, I think its a formal composition and due to the nature of the model I feel this type of cropping suits the image well. A character like this looks as though he should be treated with a little dignity, and I feel that the photographer has managed to capture this within the image.
