“In my studio portrait work, I’m consistently trying to create a timeless aesthetic while at the same time creating a striking image. I keep my lighting minimal so as not to distract from the authenticity of the subject. This also allows me to focus on the subject’s pose and expression. The portrait of the late Jane Sibley, who was a philanthropist in Austin, was taken when she was 90 years old for a local magazine called Tribeza. The portrait of the boy was self-initiated; he is actually the son of Troy House, a photographer I am friends with.”
