Durham Portrait Photographer | Leo

Apr 10 | Evan | Comments Off | Blog Portrait Photographer

I had been looking forward to Leo’s sports portrait session since I heard the details of what his mother had in mind—fencing portraits! This meant heading to his fencing club, Mid-South Fencers’ Club in Durham for his portrait session. The fencing club itself made for a great background to take portraits as it had lot’s of character (note to self, potential location for some future Durham senior portait sessions). Like I would have been at his age (or even now), Leo was a little uneasy about having his portrait made at first, but he soon warmed up and did a great job. He even taught me a little about fencing, for example, the fencer’s sword isn’t actually called a sword—it’s a sabre. I really enjoyed documenting Leo’s incredible talent, which recently he earned some national points at a tournament with! Check out the images from his portrait session below!
