Shooting portraits is as much about showing the context as it us about the person - which makes a good portrait a challenging thing to construct.

Painters use 'devices' like books, cats, clothing and settings to suggest the person's character & nature. But in a live portrait, the photographer is always struggling to both portray the person well, and imply something about them. That's why it's great to be presented with photo ops like this one, where the subject in action also tells you so much more about their character.
