I have said it before, that I’m much more drawn to photographing people. There is something so powerful about capturing them, their surroundings and their personalities.

My dearest friend, Marcus, is an amazing artists and the idea I had in my head to capture part of his style was at night in a dark open space. We found ourselves out on an ice road minutes outside of Yellowknife. There is a single fill flash to camera left and one flash behind him, which created the harsh shadows of the chair.

Down to the snow falling, this image captures exactly what I wanted it to. His stare while clutching the deceased animal, sitting on a chair in the middle of darkness.
