I was in the David Bowie mind set today. This photo of him was taken by Helmut Newton in 1982. I really like the gray scale of the photograph. The side lighting of his face makes him stand out. The light leads the eye directly to his face. The darkness creates shadowing effects on the side of his face where his natural hollow of his cheek is. There is also a white light effect that outlines his figure that brings the eye to notice him even more, not that you necessarily need outlines and lightening to notice Bowie, I know I don't.
