W/NW: Solo portrait of a friend, partner, spouse or loved one

[kxl]

I volunteer at our camera club once a week to help with printing, scanning and other post-processing work, and sometimes to run workshops and take studio portraits. Stephen is one of the other volunteers.

It seems beer helps! Love this portrait because of the expression of the subject, the smile, his eyes...great work, well done!

Bruno Engler was a Swiss Mountain guide

Once upon a time I lived in Switzerland and can imagine him in the Alps.

Thank you Robert. It was a quick photo taken during one of the events celebrating a 100yrs of mountain guiding in Canada....rather an a photo session. I took 2 frames only....the other shows Bruno scowling. I have printed the two & mounted them as a diptych.
I had been photographing outside so i had Delta 100 in the camera....it was kind of a miracle image allowed only by the Noctilux 50mm and a beer bottle for a tabletop monopod.
