Tiger, tiger, burning bright

Here's a couple of shots for a local locksmith.
I wanted a backlight but I'm getting some harsh light on the reflective keys.







These seem to have a journalistic approach that seems well suited for a narrative.

First one is a bit cramped with the elbow cut out.
Second is nice and the highlights on the keys work well for me. They add to a third of the image and add a sense of depth. Framing at the waist shows the room is small without feeling uncomfortable.
Third is a nice portrait and normally difficult to accomplish in landscape.

I am mostly a film shooter and I came accross a cheapo film scanner for making essentially contact prints and Flickr. I only own an iPad for editing, using snapseed, but it does provide me with a ballpark approach for dodging/burning as well as a moderate contrast level for printing. All in all it works to suit my needs unfortunately it makes awful looking digital grain and captures none of the film grain so bear with me.

Edit: is it helpful to include film type and developer when discussing?
