    Bit of background information ... subject is part of a military history re-enactment group, Laochra. Very simple one-light setup ... large softbox left (think it was rectangular), reflector right, shot against a hand-painted cloth backdrop. f/8, 1/125th, ISO 100. Processed in Photoshop ... typical workflow for something like this ... basic adjustments in LR, clean-up, dodge and burn, frequency separation (probably not needed here, can't recall), extend backdrop either side and add textures, colour grade with 3 LUTs (Edgy Amber 20%, Foggy night 20%, Tension Green 20% ... or something like that), black and white adjustment layer at 10%, group LUTs and BW layer and mask off skin by 50%, camera raw filter for lighting adjustments and vignette, reduce noise+hi-pass filters for slight painterly feel, sharpen.
