Light Studies

Brief

An ongoing portrait series about what light can do. I use the studio to try different colors, shadows and shapes, and to see how each change shifts the feeling of a photograph.

Light Studies

I keep coming back to the studio to see what a small change in light can do. Light Studies is where I keep those experiments together.

Sometimes I work with bold color. Other times I take most of the light away and let a face, a gesture or a shape carry the frame.

A shift in direction, distance or color can change the whole feeling of a portrait. I like giving myself room to test that and letting the person in front of the camera bring something I could not have planned.

This series will keep growing as I try new setups and work with different people.
