To prevail is to "prove more powerful than opposing forces; be victorious."

This is my boyfriend, Ketan, and I couldn't think of anyone better for this portrait. He came to Canada from India without knowing a single person here. He figured out the currency, the culture, the customs and embraces it all.  He always proves more powerful than anything that tries to bring him down and I am forever in awe.

Is there someone in your life who is the epitome of strength and perseverance? Or someone that helps you to be victorious? Take the time to tell them and capture a portrait. With portraits, we need to think about background, focus and lighting. Use a tripod if you can (a stack of books is also handy!), and smaller f-stop on your camera to blur the background or check your phone to see if it has a portrait mode in the camera. We shall prevail!
