I enjoyed these photos … thanks
I am not to sure about the whole ‘tash’ thing really…….. although these are very nicely sculptured and I don’t have to kiss them !!!!
I wish I could grow one like these. Shucks!
I really love mustaches. yippie! horray!
nice idea for a project but i would expect better lighting from an advertising photographer, these look like outtakes from a portrait workshop. and yes, i think lighting makes a huge difference and so does consistency and these could have elevated this series past an afterthought if they were done with more care.
I love these ! Fantastic Mr Powdrill !
Check out the ’stash’…
I took this portrait myself..http://themercurialworld.blogspot.com/ If it’s not up..look for the posting ‘Changes’..You’ll be quite surprised. It takes a man to grow a mustache..
Having had a ’stache for many years (semi-walrus style) I had a great laugh whey I shaved it off and wondered who I was looking at in the mirror. Never going back there to the ’stache again. Having said that, I think think the introduction of yellow light in the images, from the left, is an interesting technique.
