Interesting.
But how do you figure out the exposure ?( “manual exposure” you said )
I’m sure he used the meter around his neck and adjusted a little for the dark side. You can do this entirely in camera and just shoot a few samples to bracket it in to where you are happy.
I would have tampered with this by using a small bit of flash on the background (never satisfied)..:-)
