Can I steal that last one?

Good stuff.

You can post it all over the internet for all I care.    My wife wants me to have him put the mask on and get a pic of him stealing my 9mo sons piggy bank (taking it out of his hands).  I might just have to do that one. :D

How do you get such a high contrast in your photographs?  Is it lighting or Photoshop?

I had to give up on photography since I blew a gasket and lost the sight in my left eye.  I haven't bothered with it since then.

I'm sorry to hear about you eye.

The contrast is done in post production.  I light the scene to cast shadows for that editing process.  What I do is a digital form of an old film technique called "bleach bypass".  I then sharpen the image pretty heavily.

I'm glad you like it.

Here's the light setup for the crouched shots.
