Headshot day at #ArtsUmbrella and I managed to grab a few shots of the youngest kid after he had his session. Cleans up pretty well, he does. #TheatreKid #ArtsUmbrellaTheatre #TheatreYVR #YVRArts
A young man sitting on some concrete stairs. He's wearing a black jacket, black pants, white shirt, blue patterned tie. He has his elbows on his knees, fingers interlaced, and is leaning forward. Head-and-shoulders shot of the same young man in front of a blue/grey corrugated metal wall.
