When there’s synergy between artists the result is just magic! I’m so grateful to my friend and iconic photographer Phillip Dixon for letting me use his house to shoot with the incredibly talented @johnschell

Black and white has a way of stripping everything down to what actually matters.
No distraction, no color, just form, light, and whatever is left underneath.
Sometimes that’s enough. Specially when you have a subject like @jpvertus

Experimenting with charcoal texture with actor @jpvertus - camera @hunkelswede assist @homermarrs
There are moments in portrait work where the image becomes less about the person in front of the lens and more about the tension between what’s revealed and what’s concealed. This piece came out of my experimental phase—when I pushed color, texture, and shadow to their edge, letting intuition override technique.

The burnt-orange fabric cutting across the eyes became the central pulse of the frame, a single band of heat against a world rendered almost entirely in sculpted darkness. Skin, suit, and shadow merge into one continuous surface, allowing the viewer to focus on gesture, bone structure, and the emotional weight carried in the hands.
I can never fully recreate how I did this one—and that’s part of its truth. It came from improvisation, from breaking rules, and from allowing the image to drift into abstraction while remaining undeniably human. Pieces like this remind me why experimenting matters. You lose control just enough for something unexpected to appear.
