Was this painted from a photograph, or is this a few different images painted as a composition? I’m asking because there seems to be a couple of different lighting situations going on.

Also: finally, some male nudity! Not enough of that here. Getting tired of images of bored women.

There are a few lighting sources and I was hoping it would look a bit... off? Both in perspective and lighting. There is a very bright photography light shining on the figure, it made me feel like a really disconcerting light - like a oncoming headlight? - on a person in a vulnerable position. I'm not sure the vibe I feel translates but that was the idea! Thanks for the comment!

It does translate, it feels a bit awkward (in a good way). Honestly I have no problem with boobs etc, but it can get boring, this is refreshing!
