While walking through the port of Vancouver, I stepped right into the middle of a movie set. The grips were setting up lights to illuminate the streets just outside of the city’s new convention center. Using a 400mm telephoto lens, I photographed this particular grip from a good distance away for about fifteen minutes as he arranged the position of the huge lamps. His expression and body language changed repeatedly as his task became ever more demanding. This particular image communicates through tension, an emotion that is often found in the workplace. His lips are tightly pursed as he leans into the lamp. He works within deep shadows, while highlights outline one side of his face and arm. These shadows abstract the scene, and add a mysterious mood to his machinations, intensifying the emotional content of the image.
