Portrait: Honorable Mention 2020 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Taken at a photography conference at the Hotel Pennsylvania in NYC in February 2020. This guy was so cool and relaxed and I liked his energy and his outfit so I asked if I could take his portrait. He wanted to test out these LED lights that he had hanging above him and I shot a few pics and this one stood out the most for me.
