notice the small bore double rifle, maybe a best quality hunting gun -
not for chamois hunting but for driven reed deer,imho.
Something we don't do much these days, formal hunting pose portraits. Dress in appropriate clothes, carry the appropriate firearm and accountrements. The old fashioned photograph studio screen behind. Looks good.
Something perhaps we should do again today. A vintage look. And portrait photogrpahs for posterity. A portrait for the wall, and emailed images to friends.

A reason we don't do this now, is photography has become so easy. So we take easy unplanned photographs and portraits. The well planned and thought out portraits for such an image have disappeared. Portrait photography of course still exists, for weddings, for pttty girls spending money for well organised images, models and the like.
