"Day 53" is a personal project I created with my son Damien. He asked me to create armor from a cardboard box, which inspired this image of a boy and his trusty Robot, standing strong amidst the aftermath of a fierce storm that ravaged their family home. The image is a combination of studio / location photography and CGI.
