Storytelling Candid Action photography. This image of a young boy that i caught in the crowd whilst shooting at a local festival is a real picture of inspiration and hope. This brave little boy has several health conditions including Cerebal Palsy , Severe autism , partial deafness and othe issues that effect both his movement and his ability to communicate. He generally needs to spend most of his time sitting in a special chair pushed by his parents because of the difficulty he has in walking but also because he finds it hard to interact with the world around him , except for when he gets to see, hear and feel a guitar play. At the moment he arrived near the band with his parents his whole manner changed and his personality was released by the image of the electric guitarist. He got up from his chair and the difficulty he had in moving partially left him as he stood transfixed , swaying to the sound but also following every strum of the guitarists hand and every stamp of the feet upon the pedals. For an hour his parents looked on , filled with joy , because it is at times like this , in front of a live band that they actually get to see the full personality of the son they love so much. It made us all wish that the band would never stop playing.
