I seem to be attracted to excessive contrast.
You might want to study the work of artists like Caravaggio and others of the time who mastered the concept of chiaroscuro (light/dark). Now THEY were attracted to strong contrast ...and made heart stopping paintings too.

As for the reference photos provided by your client, you might want to post them under photo critiques and get some input from people on the Forum. (My general feeling is that nothing is so career limiting as painting from inferior reference.)
