No, David. It was a self portrait while I was messing with my Profoto gear. I stood precisely one metre away from the lens, and set the focus to 1 metre and shot at f/16 or something similar hoping to get my whole head in focus. It kind of worked!
The avatar he's using on Facebook (or was... I'm not sure if he still is) was one of my images of him that I took while I was over his place, messing about with strobes, that he's processed.
