About the image

Mr. Attitude seemed to be just right as a natural light shot. I had lights and reflectors with me during the session but having lost his father less than a year earlier, this young man was having a difficult time letting down his guard. I pulled everything back and we shot this in the most laidback way possible. It was the least intrusive I could be and still get the shot. It was a difficult day for him, and what you don’t see is the tennis racket he was holding which was his dad’s … who taught him to play tennis.
