A man in a workshop wearing a blue denim apron and holding a wooden violin

Thom Atkinson, Photographer, London

About

A middle-aged man stands inside a woodworking workshop holding a wooden violin in his hands. He wears a light grey collared shirt, a dark blue denim apron dusted with wood shavings, dark trousers, and brown suede shoes. The workshop features metal shelving stocked with wood pieces, workbench surfaces cluttered with tools, and clamps in the foreground. The lighting is bright and natural, coming from overhead fixtures and a high skylight in the pitched ceiling. The shot is captured from a full-body vertical perspective with a shallow depth of field framing the artisan.
