I really loved this early morning session with Eli! He had a great serious face and some amazing green eyes. Probably could be a model, no? : )
Thanks to MB for the willing friends with a great location! I definitely love urban outdoor, but it’s even cooler to be able to use an artist’s studio for the indoor portion.
MB HopkinsJacquelynn: You did an AWESOME job on Eli’s pics. Thank you SO much. I’m a 30-year veteran graphic artist/illustrator/designer and have worked with many very talented photographers (and art-directed many photo shoots in my day), and I know a talented professional when I see one. You are it. Great photographic/compositional judgment, creative thinker, able to access scenarios on-the-spot, think on your feet with camera in hand, expedient and extremely competent, able to put your subjects at ease, able to know when exactly to press that shutter release, how to catch a “moment,” all of it. Eli is photogenic, to be sure, but I’ve seen plenty of “bad” photos of him as well. You ARE a gem to work with and made it all seem so easy. Excellent, excellent, excellent. Kudos to you.
