Brett Erickson, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

An outdoor portrait captured by photographer Brett Erickson shows a young man playing an acoustic guitar with a shallow depth of field, keeping the guitar neck and foreground in softer focus while the coastal background remains distant. He wears a dark plaid flannel shirt over a plain white t-shirt. Two seagulls are captured in mid-flight over the blue ocean and sandy coastal cliffs visible in the distance under a clear sky. The composition has an atmospheric, casual quality with muted natural lighting and subtle film grain texture.
