The lighting actually makes it look a lot like a Jill Greenberg photo:

I wouldn't be surprised too since she's also a RISD alumn.

I immediately thought of Joey L's logging style, which is similar to Greenberg's. Basically, the really strong lighting on the sides and relatively dark front of face looks like his work for the Twilight movie posters.
