I almost cropped the bags out of the foreground to make the frame cleaner. But they’re his. They belong to the moment, just like the crossed ankles and the stance. Sometimes making a photo too neat strips away the truth of the space.

A high-contrast black-and-white portrait of a man named Mikie sitting on a green wooden park bench against a chain-link fence. He sits flat against the back of the bench, his arms thrown open wide across the top wood rail, while his legs are tightly crossed at the ankles. In the immediate foreground, a crumpled reusable grocery bag sits on the pavement. The monochrome tones highlight the raw geometry of his posture, the metallic texture of the fence, and the stillness of the moment.

The same portrait of Mikie on the park bench, presented in full color. The scene features a sharp, vibrant contrast between lush green ivy growing on the chain-link fence and a bright orange-red backdrop visible through the wire grid. In the foreground, the reusable grocery bag is revealed to be a bright color, adding a layer of messy, real-world environmental noise to the frame that alters the quiet mood of the black-and-white version.

This one. Happy to stop & wait each time I want to photograph street art, or some water, or some light at a funny angle, or a building, etc. & there’s never been even one squeak of a complaint over all these years. She deserves a shout, & her own portrait.

Making my way through all this hair! I feel a little lost in the sauce, ngl. Would you say her hair looks more wavy, or does it give off curly at all? 😮‍💨

Soooo what if I yeeted my older art style altogether and fell in love with this one instead? 🥹 I kept the elements of my old one I liked and went in a different direction with them. Thoughts? (Also, meet my bat-sona.)

Yesterday I posted one of my clients Cody, a painter of people, after sending her file I started playing with the image via a masters painter app. 👩‍🎨 She now has these as well. The last one is her headshot. Pretty cool!

One of my clients Cody, a painter of people requested this image for some publications she will be featured in. She loved how I captured her persona. I have a gift of connecting with a client and making them SHINE ✨ #photography #portrait #portraitsky
