Capping Finals Week with a photo critique was actually not that bad – albeit very long. My project aimed to feature working, uniformed professionals (excluding those who work in retail, as well as smaller, private businesses) against a stark white background. Richard Avedon’s In the American West inspired this collection, for which I made 16″x20″ prints on Inkjet luster paper with a Mamiya 645AD and a Leaf Aptus digital back (as always, TY Justin!). While it was quite a challenge to find volunteers, a few kind people acquiesced to my request. Ideally, it would be wonderful to include 25 (or more!), so if you or someone else would like a portrait, feel free to contact me.

Also, because I feel a need to tout my debut on a magazine blog, click here to see me in New York. Big Apple-related posts coming soon!
