Jon's "Mug" Shot

Posted by Laurie (New Jersey, United States) on 9 December 2006 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

Ok...This is Jon and he is camera shy as many of you know. He's only shy around a camera, otherwise he is loud and boisterous and very outgoing. He tortures me all the time by not cooperating for portraits, posed or otherwise. He has developed a very keen Camera Radar and it's nearly impossible to catch him off-guard. Hence this shot. I think this would have been a nice candid portrait. It had it all, subtle lighting a nice setting a relaxed and happy mood, but...as you can see his Camera Radar was set to high that day and he caught me. So instead of throwing it out I warned him that I was going to use whatever I got and that would be that. So for the record this is Jon on Thanksgiving. Isn't he handsome?
