Cameras are inhibiting, except when you’re posing for a selfie, it can be scary to show who you are and you can be slow to be yourself.
My little friend came into my studio like other cautious clients, revealing himself with his back to me. By the end of the session, he shined as himself, and we both had a ball.
Love photographing people at night playing off reflections and street lights. Here’s New York a few weeks ago.
Photographing Carmen Eliam’s jewelry is so much fun. The detail, the motion, the light…from a bowl of cherries to a beautiful ring, the contours, the touch of the metal, the soft jingle jangle of the beads…
Heading downstairs for coffee, I saw the light shine through my studio window onto Carmen Eliam’s jewelry, so I stopped for a little morning sunshine.
