52 in 52 Portraits in ‘23.

I have set a growth goal for myself. I want to create 52 portraits in 52 weeks, all set in the subjects home environment or other space the person is familiar with. The goal is to create a powerful set of 5 images in 60 minutes. Dramatic portraits. And then publish a book or magazine with the 52 portraits.

Following are images akin to what I would like to create. I would like fashion to be an element of this project. It is time to line up January's portraits. Male, or female.

A few details. We will start planning your session via a Zoom conference to plan wardrobe, the type of look/wardrobe you are comfortable with and to help me understand what your environment looks like, how big it is, what kind of light, etc. I do ask that female subjects get their hair and makeup done professionally. I can offer recommendations. I plan on 45-60 minutes shooting time with a few minutes to setup and take down equipment. I will bring lights without electric cords. My goal will be to create 5 great images. If I deem one of the images to be contest worthy I may withhold that image until after judges have seen it. Currently I am offering these sessions on a “TFP'“ basis. A model release is required for this project so that I may use the images.

I will also need you to sign a model release. If the person being photographed is a minor, I will need a parent or guardian to sign the release.

If you are interested in being photographed this way, please fill out the form below and I will contact you. If you would like to see a gallery of images from other artists that inspired this project please let me know. Be sure to indicate in the notes the 52 in 52 project.
