Portrait done at Photo Expo in NYC.


 We were demo-ing the ill fated Samsung Galaxy NX camera at the 2013 Photo Expo when we started asking people who came to the Samsung booth if they'd sit for a portrait. This person agreed and we did a very quick portrait session with two cheap and cheesy monolights and two small soft boxes. I love the fact that the subject was so centered and calmly focused on me. In the middle of hundreds of bustling people, surrounded by booths of competing camera companies, we are able, at least for a moment to tune all of that out and make a portrait. 

Done with the Samsung NX fitted with a Samsung 60mm macro lens. Image converted from color to black and white back in 2013. 

Would I do anything different today? Probably not...
