Well, I think it's an awesome shot. His outfit, the atmosphere you created with the window light does give it a vibe of a folk music writer. If you are into portrait. I really recommend an episode on the Netflix series "Abstract" and I think it's episode 7. It talks about one of the greatest portrait photographers of our time, Platon. He might not be your style, but his way of connecting with the subject is really cool. If you watch it, tell me what you think about it.

By the way I have found that steemit has a lot of great photographers and the good thing is that they share and comment a lot more than in other social media, so it's a perfect place to learn.
