First Portrait Session On Canvas Background

As I sit and think about what to write in this blog post, I couldn’t help but realize that photography has always been a major balancing force in both important and difficult periods of my life. It was the art that love followed and the medium I used to express the joy and anger I couldn’t process through words. For that, I am forever grateful to the Master Creator.

Now, let’s talk about this portrait session. It has been in the making for months, with the only unknown element being the model. Everything from the lighting diagrams to the backgrounds, I had sketched countless times in my notebooks. I was excited by the idea of blending classical portraiture with a contemporary feel in today’s world. In classical portrait photography, the background is a key element. It should be subtle to complement the subject’s look and outfit. I opted for canvas and muslin only. So I hope you will enjoy this new chapter in my journey.

Let me introduce you to the amazing artist painter Leidy Vargas. We have worked on location in the past, we created some amazing photos and I think we did a good job with this session.
