Family and Private Portraits

Last year I was hired to photograph 75 actors, artist and directors in China. The assignment was an awesome experience for me and my entire crew, but it also opened up a new door into creating private portraits for families, business executive and more. 

Last week I photographed one of the top conductors in the world, Jahja Ling along with his lovely wife, at their home in San Diego. Over the years I have discovered that I love walking into an environment where I have no idea what the location or home will look like and I have to find and create an interesting photograph. This can be a challenge in some cases but with creative lighting you can make any place look amazing. Luckily, the Ling house was an incredible home with a lot of great places to shoot.
