Michelle has always been one of my favorite portrait subjects. She just radiates good energy and is more or less fearless in front of the camera. Our first sessions together were decades ago; probably as far back at 1988 or 1989. But we've kept up with each other through thick and thin.
I wanted to test out a new camera a few years back and I asked if she could come by the studio over here in Westlake Hills. We used a Sony A7Rii camera and the Sony 70-200mm G lens. Could have used just about anything because Michelle brings her own magic to the shoots. I look forward to photographing together when she's 60, 70, 80, 90 and beyond.
Originally shot in color and converted to black and white in post.
Notice to Austin area photographers:
This coming Saturday, October 28th, the Mexicarte Museum is hosting its annual Day of the Dead celebration downtown at 4th and Congress Ave. There will be the traditional grand parade with costumed dancers, floats and low-riders. Lots of costumes, face painting and great food.
The opportunity for anyone with a camera and even the barest of people skills to come downtown and
make some fun photographs. I will be there. So will many other Austin photographers.
Just sayin.
I love them all!! A master at work!!
