this picture is also quite simplistic. the fence acts as a leading line and all the little diamond shapes lead your eye in and out of the photo. there's kind of a calm feeling looking at the subject but also i get a sense of wonder thinking what's on his mind. being a portrait photographer was hard because you had to tell someone else what to do and how to look when i didn't even know what i really wanted. it's hard directing someone and having your model follow exactly what you want.
