Where it all began
Here’s a throwback to my first ever black and white portrait and my first ever write-up reflecting on the process. Looking back, I see a young and curious artist about to fall head over heels in love with a new lifelong obsession.
PS: love you Majid Hashemi ❤️
11/16/2016 - PORTRAIT #001 - MAJID "MACH" HASHEMI
The most memorable moment during the shoot was when I let Mach take a look at the first few photos. It was so I could show him what was working and where there was room for improvement. His curiosity and his fascination with the "different versions" of himself—as seen through the lens—left an impression on me.
This shoot gives me confidence that there is something very special in this style of black and white portrait photography and that the Universe wants me here.
