Portraits with an Attitude

These portraits are supposed to convey a mood to the view. What moods do you sense?

When starting these portraits I decided I wanted to do something within an interest of mine so I decided to go with a theme of weight lifting. I have been doing a lot of lifting in preparation for Track & Field. Being a thrower of shot put, discus, and hammer I need to be strong. This is one of my friends that also does a lot of lifting. I chose to go in the more serious direction and tried to capture a more self reflective emotion or an emotion that says he’s not happy with himself. A lot of the time people perceive weight lifters and cocky and in love with themselves but in reality that can be far off from the truth.
