ASSIGNMENT | Portraits of Abu and Jess

See full set on Flickr.

I was commissioned by a friend to take black and white portraits of her two daughters as a Christmas gift for her husband and friends. Although I know the girls well - and they are both polite and charming - this was a surprisingly daunting task as I wanted to capture the girls personalities; avoid cliche and kitsch; and produce work that had some resonance without missing the brief to be family friendly.

I shot with natural light (a lack of anything else helped this decision !), and worked hard in post to give the images a graphic quality while retaining naturalism. My client was pleased with the results.
