About the image

This high school senior only agreed to take photos for his parents and would not look at the camera. I suggested he bring along his guitar. When I discussed some ideas with him and demonstrated how we could make the guitar the feature (instead of him) he agreed to look straight into the camera. I used a Stellapro2000 continuous light source with a globe diffuser behind me, aimed straight at the subject.
