I like that style of portrait A LOT. It seems to strip away something and allows "character" to seep out. I don't know if I've been trained by the media or if its because of early B&W's but something about them evoke emotion in a way that other photos can't. The level of detail portrayed by the millions of grays is energetic where color might not be. I think part of it may be from my love of Annie Liebovitz or more accurately the people she photographed. Don't get me wrong, I think she does a decent job taking pictures, but I doubt I would care if the people she took pictures of weren't famous people that I liked. I just like B&W pics of people I "know" famous or not. I just found this: http://www.temple.edu/photo/photographers/leibovitz/24.html A coal mine outside of Birmingham in 1999? Anybody know anything about that? Anyway, having said all that. I like these two portraits. They are very dramatic and I just love that. I like the hard shadows and the angle of the light source. I might like the male one more because the shadow is a bit harder. It gets really dark on his nose and chin. Is that because he was at a diff distance or what? Was there a fill? I really like them.
