Every workday morning at a small Cafe in Paris, this man warms a barstool for an hour or so, waiting for his crew to arrive. I couldn't resist painting him as the morning sun silhouetted his profile. The play of light and shadow on his face as he checks his phone suggests he's actually working from his portable office, his phone. The lighting effect is what I wanted to capture as it reminds me of a Rembrandt subject. The contrast of sunlight as he huddles in his warm puffy jacket intensifies his feelings of comfort and concentration.
We had coffee together every morning that week but never spoke a word.
