Dustin Aksland, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

An older man with a full grey beard and mustache peers cautiously out from behind a massive, dark wooden double door adorned with decorative studs and carved floral medallions. He wears a light grey button-down shirt and blue jeans, holding a double-barreled shotgun horizontally across his body. To the left of the doorway, a vintage yellowish metal mailbox features the word Chronicle, and a round sign reads Bell above a dangling chain. The lighting is natural and directional, highlighting the rich textures of the aged wood and the subject's serious expression. This editorial portrait was photographed in Los Angeles by Dustin Aksland.
