Portrait Experiments In Silhouette
That obsession was how powerful a silhouette can be in a photo. I was enamored with the idea that it could be aesthetically, beautiful, but also very personal. It struck me that you could identify these individuals quickly with nothing but their silhouette if you knew them, and it really sparked the idea of storytelling within portraiture, and playing with absence, and of course, shadow, because if you know me, you know, I love a good dark shadow.
Portraits With Adult Ballerina - Natalie
My amazing shoot in my Madrid photo studio with a talented Adult Ballet dancer and teacher, Natalie. I have never been a ballet fan, but now I am a convert. It is fantastically beautiful and moving. The movement, the shapes, the precision...I'm in awe.
Global Executive Portraits in Madrid for Mars Petcare, Inc.
The public relations team for Mars Petcare reached out to me to set up a photo shoot for corporate portraits for their leadership team during their annual global retreat in Madrid.
Several members were being asked for updated headshots and portraits for various interviews and speaking opportunities both externally and internally, so we created 2 portrait looks and a headshot look for each of their 9 leadership team members at their hotel.
Experimental Portraits - Agustín
My session with Agustín is another example of having very cool model friends who are willing to be creative together in a photo session. Many of these photos were shot in the aftermath of the COVID restrictions here in Madrid, and the mood of post-quarantine, and all of the emotional effects of that time in our lives, subconsciously came through in our imagery together.
Madrid Portraits - Mathilda
These portraits had everything going for them from the beginning because they were shot on my birthday!
Like many good photos, some of these photos came about due to limitations or problems during the photo session, which ended up leading me into very fertile creative territory.
Madrid Portraits - Lou
I worked with Lou several times as a stylist on my photo projects and I figured it was time to spend some time with her in front of my camera as a model. Lou is an educator and advocate for sustainable fashion and sustainable practices for clothing manufacturers. an advisor for a new Spanish Fashion House, Elio Berhanyer, and a gifted yoga instructor in Madrid.
