Hey Guys, im new to Fstoppers and this group as well.
Actually this job is now 1 year old. It was my first shoot with a freerider.
Daniel (Rider) is studying to become a teacher. Right now he is taking a year off to slow down his life and rethink his values.
He is working as a surf teacher in summer and as park shaper in winter right now.
Even he is earning much less now and has to cut down on some things he is living his live a lot happier.
I tried to display the feeling of happiness about his lifestyle right now in this portrait.
Happy to hear any comments or constructive feedback.
Regards Frank
I like the high key and his expression. However, the composition is kinda awkward and doesn't really work. And his smile looks just a bit fake, maybe spend a bit more time with him to capture his true expression
