Derrick

I have recently been told I am terminal ill. So I've decided to do a book of portraits, of people that have been important in my life. One of them is Derrick, we have been friends since we were children there have been falling outs over the years, but have always come back together as friends. One of the first portraits for the book was going to be of him, and it turned out great this image really sets a tone for how I want the images to look and feel.
