    Good job creating the emotion. He looks like a pretty solid guy.

    Thanks, Joel & Nik. He was great to work with and really got into character. I didn't get to work with him for long that day. He was holding the reflector while I was shooting his friend and asked me if I could take a few of him. I gladly obliged! :D

    Thanks, Rey. What do you think of those eyebrows? That's one clue that told me he would make an interesting portrait!
