Story
I felt a personal connection drawing this British musician, Tinie (formally known as (Tinie Tempah). Having similar backgrounds culturally growing up I felt inspired to capture this man as he represented an image of perseverance. The expression I wanted to depict was one of focus, tenacity but also vulnerability. As those traits are one which allows one to finetune into their strengths, enabling them to unlock a hidden talent or gift they could share with the world. And Tine Tempah, I felt, embodied this in his road towards stardom.
