a kayak and a smile

I was very impressed when meeting Briant. He is a very nice yong man and is very passionate about kayaking. The only shots he wanted has with his kayak. The entire time he was in his kayak he was smiling. The sun was very harsh, not a cloud in the sky. The worst light we could have for portraits, but Briant didn't mind. He was just happy to be kayaking. Besides the small ammount of squinting, which is unavoidable,I think the shots are perfect. They capture his love for the sport.
We took a few more shots with controlled light. I shot them closer in case he may want one for the yearbook.
