In 2009 I was asked to create portraits that would showcase local artists living in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The project grew to over 100 people and caught the eye of local publisher and arts supporter, Hub City Press. Creating the portraits I kept the lighting simple and used a bellows lens called a Lens Baby® which created shallow depth of field and beautiful images. Here are a few examples of a favorite project which became a book, published in 2011.
