Tyler’s Senior Session at Rob Fleming Park in The Woodlands

On an August afternoon in Rob Fleming Park, The Woodlands, Texas, I had the pleasure of photographing Tyler Hynes for his high school senior pictures. The cloud cover and the hint of rain added a unique charm to the day, while the cooler temperatures brought a refreshing change from the typical heat. With the park's fountain and lake creating a beautiful backdrop, Tyler looked relaxed and confident. I wish him great success with his college applications in his senior year at the John Cooper School.

Christmas at New York City: a portrait session with Danté Crichlow

Day 5, Part One of photography workshop with Joe McNally in a New York City studio.

Danté Crichlow is an actor known for Netflix movies “See You Yesterday” (2019 and 2017)and he studied at the New York University Tisch School of the Arts.

Dante was part of our photography group and he graciously agreed to pose for me. I was following Joe McNally’s advice from his book “Sketching Light” to always watch for dusty windows as they are some of the best light diffusers available in the real world. That Sunday morning we found ourselves on an abandoned and badly dilapidated floor of an industrial building with huge windows that hadn't been washed for at least half-century. The bright midday sun rays were bouncing from the opposite buildings and creating ice-like patterns on the glass surfaces. Just gorgeous.
