Ty
I was walking back from a shoot when I noticed Ty in his car. His bright magenta/pink hair against his bright teal car immediately drew me in and I had to ask if he'd let me take his picture.
What I love about this image is how much it tells us about Ty. From his tattoos, his obvious love of bright colors to his bruised knuckles, even his car is slightly dented if you examine close enough.
