Jared & myself have tried to organise the portrait photoshoot since before the pandemic. It has taken three years to make this happen. Finally we captured the portraits in Los Angeles just over two weeks ago.

I captured Jared’s portrait for a new project entitled Selah drawing inspiration from the Old Master painters like Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Titian and Ribera. I have attempted to masterfully recreate the light, atmosphere and tones of classical portrait paintings.
