Anne now.
Anne needed a casual image for a work project, she asked if I would photograph her. One of my favorite portraits I have ever taken was of Anne a number of years ago so of course I said "yes."
She didn't want anything fancy so I set up a flash in a soft box on a C-stand in the front yard, put a 90mm f2.0 lens on an X-H1 and we blazed away, mixing flash with the fading last light of day.
We stopped when the mosquitos (which were bigger than hummingbirds) started swarming around our ankles, intent on inflicting maximum damage. It was great to see Anne again and our quick session has given me the inspiration to go back and photograph the most interesting people I've photographed over the years, to see how much more beautiful they have become...
Now, back to figuring out how I'm going to handle the audio for Sunday's video project....
Anne then.

What a lovely idea for a project. I think the most important people for us to photograph are those in our lives. As it is said, one day it will be all we have left, both of us the photographer, and the subject.
A record of change and growth.
I have to say, young Anne's countenance(especially the eyes/lids) reminds me of a renaissance painting. A credit to the subject and photographer :)
Beautiful then, beautiful now. And another outstanding portrait.
