ENCORE magazine is always providing me with interesting shoots. Nashon Holloway is a musician from Kalamazoo living and performing in the Chicago area. She arrived at the studio at the perfect time. I had just returned from an L.A. portrait workshop, where I had been chosen by my portrait photographer mentor Sue Bryce, to be one of 20 male portrait photographers to visit her studio. I had returned charged...painting backdrops, trying new studio lighting and just seeing differently. Nashon was the first to be the subject of what I learned. I love these pictures and Nashon. She has the most beautiful presence and energy. I've attached a link to the ENCORE article below and read more about Nashon at: https://www.nashonholloway.com/
