Amiel, post Provincial Championships racing, December 2023.

I’ve been trying to shoot Amiel’s portrait for a couple of years now. It took me not participating in racing Provincials myself in order to corral him into it finally. I maybe was a bit rushed on this particular day, I didn’t realize that the Sunday racing schedule was moving so swiftly, so instead of being able to take my time setting it up it was a little run and gun. I’m happy to have finally got it though, even if I didn’t quite nail the focus as much as I wanted to on the 4x5. It would have been nice to have him seated after racing, it’s difficult not to drift after a weekend full of racing.

Anyways, I missed a few days posting again. Hopefully I’ll keep myself accountable as I find the rhythm in the show we started working today. Finding the right work/life balance is always a challenge in the film industry, I’m finding it especially difficult as we come back from months of strikes and catching up on our bank account is a very real challenge.
