In a bubble seemingly dominated by pretty female models, it's a Eureka moment when you find a character as photogenic as this man. With a full beard, some excellent styling and a harbour-side setting, he provided some excellent captures.
After playing with some longer focal lengths, both in and out of the water, I dialled in with the Sony 24mm F1.4 G Master and got close up to create a sense of unease and drama, and Tom really played the scene well. The lack of shoulders or body, hidden behind the bear, help to hy[e up the sense of isolation - a sailor's best friend.
