  1. I love authentic looks like this. How much time did you spend with her before the photo?

    1. We shot three or four commercial shoots for an ad agency before I invited her to the studio. We spent time just chatting. The session probably lasted a couple of hours. I felt like we were on the same wavelength most of the time.

  6. A really beautiful presentation of the subject. This photo has a look similar to Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl.

  7. Kirk, Did you use all natural light? Was this shot near a window? I love the natural expression of the subject, but also the lighting is beautifully done.

    1. No available lighting. One big, softbox.
