Stuntman

[DanOstergren]

Another portrait of one of my roommates in the artist collective. Charles is an actor and a stunt man. Recently he signed a big contract as a performer in a touring Jurassic World show. It's so inspiring to be sharing a roof with and be surrounded by other artists finding big success in their careers.

Anyways, I was riding my skateboard around my neighborhood and came across this wall that had different paint swatches painted in squares in various parts of the wall. I thought it might make for an interesting location for portraits, so I got Charles to pose for me to test it out.
Shot in natural light with a white reflector. Canon 5D (the original one), Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 lens set to f/8, 1/250th sec, ISO 250.

Ha, I never saw the resemblance until you pointed it out. He definitely does.

Now you'll think of Cap whenever you see him!

He was pretty flattered when I told him lol

 

[Amocholes]

I can understand why he would feel flattered.
