environmental portraiture

Stewart, 2009




Continuing last week's theme of portraiture but moving into environmental portraiture, I would like to share some images taken at a variety of locations.  One of my favorite backdrops is the humble, organic adobe or stuccoed wall.  The two images of Stewart were made with that backdrop, as part of a slightly unconventional and informal "head shot" series for the movie industry.

The shoot involved a number of changes in clothing and settings, and since models really do feel differently in varied costumes and locations, the resulting photographs present two different "characters."



Catherine is a professional photographer whose current emphasis involves movement and dance.  She needed some images for her web sites and we spent an afternoon in the process of making those.  Below is one of our favorites.

Finally, another image from the photo session with my colleague, Steve.

The autumnal equinox graced the planet on 22 September.  The next few blogs will feature autumn in all its glory.

Until next Monday,
