Trey

As I've explained in the past, my goal for these is to walk a line where I'm respecting the uniform and having some sense of decorum, but reflecting the subjects' personalities more than typical "I'm a tough guy" military portraits. Promoting a relaxed environment for a subject in a dress uniform can be a challenge, and I work very hard at modulating the conversation and environment to oscillate between "too loose" and "too formal."

All shots on my Hasselblad, using either FP4+ or Portra 160.

Omi

Omi is a USAF Officer, she will soon be a physician, and she's a brilliant poet collaborating with me on my book project.  I hope I've done her justice here.

Colonel H

Anant

I'm very pleased with how this portrait of my friend Anant came out.

Throwback Thursday: Hommage au Avedon (2007)

This was an hommage I did with Amanda referencing a portrait Avedon did of Gloria Vanderbilt.  Still one of my favorites, and one with which to scare grandchildren one day.
