This is a shoot I did for a new friend of mine who needed shots for the Literacy Lubbock campaign she is helping out with. I love this photo because it says so much. It's dramatic and inspiring. You only see what is important, a man struggling to understand the book he holds in his hands.
Many of us take reading for granted and we overlook just how difficult some of the things we read are to understand. Anyone recently fill out your medical information on a doctors form? Anyone do their taxes? How long did it take you? Imagine if you couldn't understand the language on those forms. How long would it take you then?
This was shot with one light directly above through a snoot. f 6.3 1/100 ISO 200
There, in the shadows of confusion in his mind, doth he seek answers from the tome of knowledge, when behold! the light of understanding shines down, bringing all things into clarity!
