#109 of 365: Portrait of Jordan


This is one of my favorite shots in The 365 Project so far.
I love the way Jordan's hair throws what should be the lighted eye into shadow,
giving the whole portrait a wonderful air of mystery and somber beauty.

This is my youngest subject so far, just four weeks old.

I managed to catch him doing what babies do best...sleeping
like a baby.

#97 of 365: Portrait of Patrick Goodman


This one was really fun!

Patrick Goodman is constantly on his iPhone, both for business and pleasure, and this shot
was his idea. To execute it, I took a shot of him in my signature style, cropped it in
Photoshop Elements, then emailed it to him. He put it on the screen, enlarged it another
little bit on the device, then I talked him through positioning it just right in front of his
face. It turned out just about perfectly. It really looks like theres a hole in his iPhone.

To get the depth of field I needed to get sharp focus on both eyes, I shot at f/16 at
a very slow 1/6th of a second. Even so, it came out about two stops dark, which
I corrected in Photoshop. Thanks for a very creative idea, Patrick!
