From the shadows of a different time… .swayyy

This is my third time shooting with Devante. When he walked through the door for this session I realized how young he was when we first met. But that's not him anymore. He's grown now. He’s got size that he carries well, still flows through his moves and has maintained his aura of offbeat vulnerability… it's something so unique about DeVante… his offbeat vulnerability… it makes him incredible to photograph… and is the stuff that stars are made of…

I once had a darkroom... I miss those days... The solitude, the red light, the expectation and excitement as the images were brought to life in trays filled with chemicals... I shot Black & White film because it was easier to develop than colour and easier to process once the negatives had been developed...

I have always loved the look of Black & White and how it immediately shows you when you've created something special... there's no hiding like there can be with colour... no artifice to distract... just an image in its purest form...

Which one resonates the most with you? Slide 1, 2 or 3?

Beautiful is an understatement and not really an accomplishment or something that speaks to character so perhaps the following fits best... this is Sophie Ann Rooney (aka ), who is an award winning Filmmaker, Actor, Writer, Producer and Artist in the truest sense... Sophie's push to create the best possible work in the moment emanates from her heart and has not only served her well but will continue to do so as she reaches any heights she sets her mind to.

Visit Sophie's Instagram profile to see her short film "Fallen Fighter" which is a stunning piece of cinema and what should be just the beginning of a powerful career.

I met Dianne when I was asked to participate 's "Picture Day" event a few weeks back. I jumped at the opportunity because it allowed me to get out of my studio and work in a new environment with people I may never have met and alongside some of my Headshot Photographer colleagues. As I've mentioned before, working as a Studio Photographer can be isolating at times and while the entire day of shooting was a bit exhausting it was an incredible opportunity that I will never forget... I met some very special people throughout the day among whom was .

Dianne has a presence in front of the lens that is not something that can be taught. Her openness and energy immediately read and seem to cut right to your heart... Dianne brought so much to the images we shot... honesty and calmness... and they all left me wondering, "what is she thinking" which I think is the most powerful kind of photograph anyone can make.

And a special thanks to , and for making this day happen... it was a lot to balance and you did it all incredibly well!

My objective as a Portrait Photographer is to make people stop. In my mind a successful photograph is one where the viewer will spend time scanning, considering and wondering about the image before them… what is the person in the photograph thinking? If I can get people to stop and ponder, I have created a successful image. But the reality of Portrait Photography (in most cases) is that there are two people involved… the person operating the camera and the person having their image captured… and of the two, if the person I am photographing is not connected to themselves and the moment we are in then the chances of creating an image that makes the viewer pause lessens.

When Carrie Schiffler came to my studio we had been in touch a few times and I was looking forward to our shoot. Carrie is an Artist in the truest sense of the word… an Actor, Author, Painter and Musician… Carrie’s energy and focus was strong and steady throughout the few hours we spent in my Studio and when we were done I was sad to see her leave… this is a unique woman who has had an incredible experience in the world and I marvel at her talent, insight and ambition… carry on Carrie… we need more in the world like you.
