Portraits of Steven Ogg: The Iconic Star of 'The Walking Dead' & 'GTA V

Last week, I had the privilege of photographing actor Steven Ogg at my Los Angeles studio for my ongoing Selah Project.

Drawing inspiration from these iconic artists, I strive to masterfully recreate the light, atmosphere, and tones of classical portrait paintings in my work. This influence is particularly evident in Selah, my latest and most ambitious project to date.
