This is Lilly, I photographed her, and her brother at a local hiking area by our house with all natural light. Shot using my Canon R5 and my Canon RF 70mm-200mm f2.8. Then I did all post production in Adobe Lightroom.

This is Logan. His parents asked me to capture some shots of him for his second birthday and really wanted to have few on his motorcycle. We started the shoot with this look since it was the most “complex” and I placed my Westcott FJ200 to camera left with the standard reflector on it. He was somewhere between happy and upset when I took this shot, hence his mixed emotions. The flash really makes it seem darker in the day than it is. That wasn’t intentional, but it really works for black and white.

This is Charlie Hudson a New York and New Jersey based actor and filmmaker. Along with headshots, on this shoot day we decided to make several “character portraits” and I jokingly said “put your hand to your chin, that always looks good”. The result, was this portrait. I really love it because even though it’s posed, I still feel like a genuine connection was made and a real emotion was captured.
