This is a recent series of portraits I have begun as a personal project. I’ve named it… The Incredibly Awkward Portrait series. It started out as a test I did to experiment with some new lighting styles, but soon evolved into an ongoing series of portraits. It’s been a fun challenge finding different ways to get these expressions out of people. The majority of the work in this series is tied into the lighting (I forget exactly now, but there are upwards of 7 lights in these shots), with actually a somewhat minimal amount of post work. Check back later, as I am planning on doing another post detailing the lighting and post-production work on these images.
