In his old office that had been unused for a decade, my father sits and inspects thousands of documents, deciding what to keep and what to recycle.
His plain faced and serious look wasn't what I had set out to capture when setting up for this portrait. The idea was to capture an image of my father wearing one of his suits from the 80's in front of his director's desk, looking like a boss. I still took those pictures but this particular image taken as a test-shot was a clear stand out.
This image has won numerous professional photography awards, has been published in professional photography publications and was also exhibited in London in 2014.
