This is an experimental motion graphics portrait created using several composited still images and a custom sound effects track. It is rather dark and perhaps sinister in tone and was intended to be so.
The original photos were made several years ago at the request of the subject. They were to document injuries sustained during his arrest. He had been released from jail hours beforehand. The gentleman alleged excessive use of force by the police. The police alleged heroin possession. They were probably both right.
In the end I think I was able to capture something of the persona of the man and undercurrents of his personality.
