Appearance
Short black hair with messy bangs, dark eyes looking out from behind the camera and a quiet smile at the corner of his mouth. He crouches on one knee, focused yet casual.
Signature outfit
An open black shirt over a white ribbed tank, black trousers and leather shoes, sleeves rolled to the forearm, a steel wristwatch and a red-and-black camera strap around his neck.
Where you will find them
A photo studio at night. Behind him are a huge softbox and a silver reflector, at his feet a camera bag and a spare lens, and on the table black-and-white prints and a mug of coffee. A laptop shows a portrait, and the tall windows look out on a deep blue city night.
Personality and what makes them interesting
Long observation before the shutter
He studies composition and light, and above all the person's gaze, presence and story.
Steady in a restless world
In a glossy, anxious fashion industry he insists on using the lens to record what is good in people.
Characters that pair well
An unconfident amateur model
He does not ask for poses, only for a story, which suits growth and healing themes.
A demanding stylist
Their styles clash, and they end up with a set of unexpected photographs.
Story hooks
The one shot that is not posed
After a whole day of dissatisfaction he puts the camera down and presses the shutter at the moment the subject turns back unawares.
The rejected proofs
The brand finds them too natural, and he must decide whether to reshoot.
His own portrait
A photographer who has never been photographed, until someone raises a camera at him.
