William Haines was an actor from silent movie era. This is our first profile. Profiles are a little more challenging because the symmetry that makes a frontal portrait easy is missing in profile. I like the value pattern on this profile with the highlights along the edge of the forehead, nose, lower lip and chin. Getting the shape of a nose in profile is often difficult. Sometimes it helps to use the concept of 'negative space' to get the right shape for the facial features. The lighting of this portrait is very engaging.
