Contact Sheet: SF, 2015 For my “Suits” project, I saw this man texting on his phone in SF when the sun was setting and the light looked nice. I usually shot this entire project on my film Leica MP and 35mm lens, but I just ran out of film. I took my my digital Ricoh GR (28mm) and started to “work the scene.” I started off by taking a photograph by instinct, just in-case. I then took a step closer, and took another shot. In the third frame, I saw him stroking his hair, and took another shot. The shot after, I took a step closer (while I’m taking these shots, I’m intentionally trying to place his head in the top-right corner). By the fifth shot, he notices my presence, and looks straight at me (this is the shot). Then for the last frame, I took another step closer, and put him on the extreme right edge of the frame. In the editing phase, I debated over frame 5 and frame 6. Ultimately I chose frame 5, because it fit the “golden triangle” composition better..
