Kelly Ryan, Shadows of Fatherhood (December theme: Portrait)

I love natural light and deep shadows and I wanted to capture both the strength and the sweetness of the relationship that my partner has with our son in this portrait. I also love that it captures his tattoo without becoming too overstated. Natural light portrait with shadow and clarity adjustments in Lightroom.
