First, I applied a Black and White filter. Next, I burned and dodged various areas of the picture to create lighting effects.

The photographer I studied was Irving Penn. I chose Penn mainly because, many of his Photos are very simple in composition, but utilize various subtle techniques that give them a unique look.
