One more from this shoot.
4 lights on the model. 2 mono lights for the rim light shot bare with reflector grids @ 45's. one behind to separate from the wall prior to extracting for the composite and one speedlight into a beauty dish directly in front for fill.

Yep like this one, I bet your model was pleased too, plenty of "street cred" in the face.

Yes. This was heavily post processed. The background is from an elementary school hallway. I took five exposures of that and merged the over exposed and underexposed together. I then took a picture of the subject in a different room of the school and extracted him from the scene and placed him in the hallway. Each pic was edited separately before they were merged.

Nicely done. Some people are purists and don't like photos that are manipulated or composited, but I'm not among them. I would watch out for contrast and feathering though, as too much makes the subject more noticeable that you've done a composite. It's noticeable around his legs and near the bottom of the shorts. You've made some nice progress from some of your earlier senior portraits though.

I think you've been a bit heavy-handed with the image manipulation. Perhaps a different technique or background would work. Right now it's a bit too busy and almost abrasive with regards to the micro-contrast.
