The Hardcore Fan

The Hardcore Fan
I met Carlos at the cultural center in Handen yesterday. He stood out a bit from the rest of the people there. Carlos works as an assistant at the Berika secondary school in Handen. Originally from Örebro, but today he lives in Tensta, a Stockholm suburb. I figured him for a musician and I was half right. Carlos plays the guitar and listens to hardcore, heavy metal and blues. Another interest is photography. He told me that he shoots a lot of concert photos. He has been hooked on tattoos for around one decade now (he is 28), and he was only twelve when he got his first piercing.

Great portrait Steffe.

Placing him in front of the monochrome background was a good idea. It emphasizes his tattoos.

Am sure he is a nice guy- interesting how tattoos are so popular with some people these days. Great photo

An interesting portrait of a picturesque young man.

You do have a way of picking some interesting people! I can see why he might stand out a bit!

I bet he's just a big softie under that 'hardcore' image Steffe. Great portrait.
