Light. This has an unusual lighting because we are bias into thinking that the light source that are centered and from above is normal. However, in this photo, the light source comes from the bottom, shadowing the top of the model's face. This type of lighting creates an eerie essence for the model.

I like this image as the photographer has defined part of the models face and has emphasised the models eye. I also like how the definition of the outline of the head and shoulders are strong. I dislike how there a strong shadows on the rest of the face and there is no detail or definition on the face. A three light set up is used as one is used to create the line on the models face and the other two are back lights shining to stop shadows in the background.
