Grant Harder, Photographer, Vancouver

Description

This vertical portrait features a man standing outdoors against a backdrop of soft-focus autumn foliage. He is dressed in a light beige buttoned trench coat layered over a ribbed knit sweater in a matching neutral tone. His face is obscured as he holds a small, rectangular handheld mirror up directly in front of his eyes, catching and reflecting intense sunlight straight into the camera lens with a bright lens flare. The lighting is warm and natural, creating strong directional highlights and cast shadows across his clothing and the surrounding trees. The composition emphasizes texture in the garments and the playful interaction of light and reflection.
