Hi Darin. I'm a big fan of Jan Saudek. I don't associate this composition with his style. Do you have an image of his in mind? If so, I would love to see it. If anything, I'd say this is closer to Avedon's image, from the American West series, of the male hispanic with his shirt pulled over his head, although there is no knife in that shot. This one: http://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lp...upc8o1_500.jpg
Oh, I think I found the one you may be thinking of: The Knife. No, I didn't have that in mind when I made this. I don't see a lot of similarity besides the knife itself. The gaze, posture, attitude, clothing and crop are all different. I think mine is closer to the Avedon shot, with which I was familiar.
Love this plate ... very nice ...
