Tom’s Daily Coronacature- Chiwetel Ejiofor!

Better late than never… here’s my take on today’s subject, Chiwetel Ejiofor!

I find him to be a tough subject to capture. He has very intense eyes but unlike most eyes where the lower lid is very round the upper lid is very straight across from corner to corner. That prevents the “droopy” eyed look you often see when a subject has the whites of their eyes show all the way around the bottom half of the iris. he also has a protruding front lip, and I find the highlight just above the ridge of the upper lip is important to capture that. He has a wide head, especially at the cheekbones, and wide, shorter forehead.
