Street Lines: A Skater Portrait

We shot in an alley with chipped paint, old fences and bold graffiti to keep the portraits grounded in a real street setting. The yellow top and white pants stand out against the teal wall, while a skateboard and cones bring movement to the frame. I gave light direction, making small changes between relaxed and sharper poses. The dog brought unexpected warmth to the set and helped it feel lived in. I wanted an easy portrait with some attitude.
