For these sessions, while my studio is temporarily closed due to the pandemic, I’m set up in my little (messy) home office. These are live photo shoots where I create real sets (like a still life). I project people into them. I direct people in terms of styling, lighting, and posing, and I photograph the scene with my camera to create these portraits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gabriela is an artist and musician living in Providence, Rhode Island. She’s married to my cousin, Bill, and together they have a band called Silverteeth<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bill and I come from an artistic family. Our grandmother, Dorothy Bartholomew, was an artist, so I included her work in the set I made for Gabriela’s portraits. The block print beside Gabriela is a work my grandmother titled “Patroness of Musicians.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
