Early Beginnings \ An Exploration into Portraiture

February 8, 2021

Moving outside from the Lab into the environment held many challenges but was a lot more interesting to work with natural elements. The wind was something I hadn’t really considered and also the distance from vehicle access to location. My equipment list is never small and carrying all of the lighting usually takes a few trips. Great to have friends around who are keen to explore this with me and also get into uncomfortable positions and environments to create these works.
