Best thing would be to take the portrait right, then stitch together in PS (or your favorite image editor).

What you need are a dark backdrop (or solid backdrop at least), some off-camera flash with a reflective umbrella (or at least a hotlight/cool light on an umbrella), and of course a decent camera.

Notice in the main picture, Will's chest is facing the light source, while his head is about 20 degrees turned from it. You can see it in the light source reflecting off the frame of his glasses over his left eye. It's also above his head by a couple of feet.

Also if you look at his right shoulder there seems to be a fill light coming in from behing his right ear?

For the head shot only, it looks like just the main key light, but turn the head another 20 degrees or so, it looks about 45 total. No other light source, hence the shadow covering the right side of his face. You can greatly see the reflection or the umbrella or whatever it is causing a sunburst pattern in his glasses.

If you don't have a black or solid background but you do have strobes and umbrellas, you can have whoever taking the shot crank down the exposure value so as to minimize the ambient light, making the flash the only significant light source. Or of course you can just turn off any lights and do it at nighttime.

When Will Ferrell does it it's funny, when you do it you look desperate and alone.

What is this style of photo called usually? Is there an actual name for it?

If I remember correctly, they actually have a cool scene in the Virgin Suicides that has this same construct, but with moving images. It's quite a lovely effect.

funny with Ferrell in it but I remember these from the late 70s, early 80s and that whole style is really fucking lame.

Just take the image to Kinkos and have them print you out a big version of it and then frame it. Will Ferrell looks good on any wall.

You can just print that one out and keep it.

Give me your hair/skin/sweater colour, and I'll make a custom coloured one for you OP.

I can't believe there's not a web site already that lets you upload 2 pictures and automatically makes one of these. Pure gold!

Why is it the guy on the left looks like Will Ferrell, but the guy on the right doesn't??
