Levi - 01/26/2020
I think if there’s going to be a theme in my work in 2020, it’s going to be serious attempts at portraiture. I think as I grow in photography, I want to do more to not just capture moments of chaos, but catch people at important times in their lives and try to capture their character in a way that is more real than reality.
I would call these photos of Levi the first experiment in that style, and I’m incredible proud of not just how these images turned out, but how much they show the growth in my craft, including some refinements I’ve been trying to make to my approach to jiu jitsu, which you see a lot on ig, but not a lot here. Thanks again to him for reaching out to me, and for trading me a beautiful piece of work for these pictures, it’s actually really shocking to think that a great artist sees my work as valuable enough to trade for in that way. If you want me to take your picture, let me know, I’ll probably say yes, ESPECIALLY if you can trade me a service that I need/enjoy.
