Harlem. New York City.

 

Alvin

 

He happened to be standing in front of a local pub and I approached and asked if I could take his photo.

 

He complied and was quite patient as I snapped his photo. I like to think he was "reflecting" on a beautiful day.

 

I like tight portraits as some of you might know. The reason why I went tight with this shot is I found the serenity of his face mixed with the reflection on his glasses to be the driving force behind me asking to take his photo. So I just concentrated on that area. I'm training myself to shoot "wider".
