Photography

He dislikes photos in general, especially those that have himself in frame, but when he has to take photographs they will be like the one above: indirect and portrait.
He doesn’t like to have the focus of the image focused on the camera, not to make the image more natural or ‘real’ but instead, because he feels that when an image included the subject looking at the camera it makes part of the photo about the camera rather than just being about the subject.
Tyson prefers to take photos in a portrait orientation rather than landscape, because it means that there is less background to take away from the subject.
Tyson prefers this way because most of the photographs he takes are for work and he needs to make sure the focus is on the target - be it someone that needs taking out or someone that needs protecting - but he also uses this ‘style’ when taking photographs of friends and family, usually his brother and nephew.
Tyson doesn’t like taking photographs, but his dislike of photography isn’t linked to having liked taking photos of Sebastian.
He wasn’t particularly fond of photographing Sebastian, but it had played to the other man’s ego and Tyson had wanted to please the other man in any way that he could.
Tyson has destroyed most of the photographs now, not wanting any reminders of The Colonel, but there are a few still laying around as Tyson clings to the ‘good’ memories he had with Sebastian.
The most notable photos Tyson has taken of Sebastian is a tale from India.
  1. Covering for injuries
  2. Lying about his current location/the location of others
  3. Posts directed specifically at his brother, Jethro (Yithrô)
  4. Posts made by other members of his family/friends
  5. Posts to prove that he’s in a specific location at a certain time
  6. Pictures that Tyson actually wants to post
