When I was teaching, one of the classes I picked up semester-after-semester was a photography class. This was a student of mine, one that was really keen on exploring his photography interests. I took this photo of him in our portrait unit.
(My student) was obsessed with having the best, newest, latest, high-spec'd kit, so I wanted to show him that you can take a solid shot with a clean background (this was poster board from the local school supply shoppe) and natural (window) light, and an iPhone.
He went on to take some pretty solid shots, though I still think he is buying too much gear.
Originally from Canada, I have been living and working in Korea for over a decade. In early 2018, I plan to head back to Canada and re-open my studio.
See look behind the curtain and to see what I am up to, you can stalk me on Instagram at (B/W) and (Colour).
