Meet Jared. Tall and athletic, Jared has a long-and-lean look that cameras love. Add to that his fair skin, blue eyes and thick mane of wavy, reddish-brown hair and you have the perfect formula for some classic Irish good looks.

However, that would not only be cheating, it would be self-defeating and I wouldn’t be learning anything new. As such, I decided to put a twist on natural light portraiture that would make it challenging for me, or at least a little different than my current modus operandi… Continue reading
