Yesterday brought a special kind of creative energy to my studio. My longtime friend, actor Richard Barboza, stopped by to help me install ceiling supports—an upgrade that lets me suspend my lighting setup overhead and reclaim precious floor space for my portrait work.
Richard recently moved back to the city after some time away. We hadn’t seen each other in ages, so I invited him over. As we measured, drilled, and set up the new system, we talked about life, transitions, and the unexpected turns our paths can take. There’s something about working side by side that opens up real conversation.
Once the work was done, I had the chance to create a series of natural light portraits of Richard in the front room of my apartment studio. The light was perfect, the mood was honest, and the images capture a sense of return, resilience, and friendship.
It was a day that reminded me how art and connection often go hand in hand.
