A Diver and a Gentleman
« on: September 07, 2018, 12:46:18 »
The telephone rang. A very embarrassed voice explained that he
heard that someone he knows met a friend that has a neighbour
who knows a photographer… all in one trait and rather fast.

The man has just got the licence, the diploma and the uniform to
be a full member the National Rescue Diving Squad. He would like
a portrait for his parents and family, and for the official website of
the organisation.

He never was in a photographer's studio and he was quite shy. I
managed this portrait of a newly uniformed gentleman…

The light is great indeed! And I guess the man's apparent stiffness goes well with the uniform.

There was a two page document I was given: prescriptions of
the organisation on the uniform, the angle and pose of the of-
ficer, and other do's and don'ts.

Voulant plaire à ses supérieurs, le nouvel officier en mettait un
peu trop… ça n'a pas été facile mais bon… tous étaient très fiers!

Bien observé, Olivier! :P
