LucBefore18_XT39558
Every year on the day before their birthdays I make a portrait of my boys. Tomorrow is Luc's 18th birthday. I often imbue the portrait with something that is going on in their lives. This year with Luc it's pretty simple... he's on the cusp of being a man. He has made a leap of maturity in the last few months and every day that passes the boy he once was fades a little more. He is starting to find himself and starting to chart the future of his adult life. So here he is as a young man. Happy birthday Luc!
Lit with A Paul C Buff White Lightning Ultra 600 in a small strip box on a boom above and slightly in front. The box was pointed straight down in order to feather the light a bit. A speed light is behind at pretty low power creating a little separation on the backdrop. Triggered with Pocket Wizards and optical slave mode on the speed light. Fujifilm X-T3 and XF 90mm. Processed from raw in Capture One Pro.
