Firefighter at Station

Natural portrait of a firefighter kneeling on the training yard or concrete area behind the station, coiled hose and shiny metal couplings laid out on the ground; they rest one gloved hand lightly on a coupling while the other hand rests on their knee. Wearing turnout pants and a dark t-shirt, helmet nearby on the ground, no logos. Soft outdoor light, station building and parked truck blurred in the background. Expression: focused but calm, small neutral smile toward the camera. Framing from mid-thigh upward, full head and shoulders inside the frame.
