Alpha Man
For my department's presentation next week. I work in Data Forensics and Electronic Discovery. This seems fitting.
Strobist info:
SB 28 into soft box held above the head.
SB 27 into umbrella camera right with cto gel
Camera set to tungsten.

Phew, where to begin. Started in Lightroom with cropping, sharpening, levels and contrast. Edited in CS3 with a few dodge and burns. Then added a gradient fill layer of black to darken the edges. Then I added a curves layer to bust the shadows a bunch, added a mask and used the gradient tool to leave only the ALPHA brightened. Then I ran a high pass contrast to those layers. Then, I ran the Photomatix HDR plug in and got a nice hdr look. Then i desaturated the ALPHA area a little due to color blow outs. Then one more sharpen.
