I chose this image as I think it shows how the whole look of a portrait shot can be changed by a prop, I do understand that the mans hat in this image is part of a religious gown, but it does show how a simple prop can be used to brighten up a composition. I think I will include some kind of props in my images to create the artistic style im looking for. Due to the low-key lighting you will be able to see a shadow on the left hand side of the mans face, I like how you see this shadow get swallowed up by the background making it seem as if his face is fading into the background.
