Photos

The continuing search for compostion and artistry

Yesterday I had the pleasure of photographing SJSU’s new director of Student Life and Leadership, Richard Kelley. He was a more than affable subject, and profusely apologetic for the emptiness of the office he hadn’t yet had a chance to settle into. All the same, the static nature of a behind-the-desk portrait seemed at odds with my goal of taking good photographs. At least now I understand why photographers lug those big lights around.
