A couple of weeks ago, former Ontario Attorney General, Michael Bryant, published his memoir, 28 Seconds.
If you look on the back flap, you'll see Bryant's author portrait, a detail of a larger portrait that I took of Bryant back in February.
This is that portrait.
It was a photo that I had taken on a whim during our photo shoot to fit along with a style of portraits that I've been working on for a few years. I didn't expect it to be the final choice but it worked out well.

I'm also including here an outtake - my personal favourite from our shoot - which is reminiscent of this old portrait of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
