From a photo session I did with my friend Michael in downtown Portland Oregon. This shoot was all about experimenting—playing with light, color, and atmosphere in an urban setting with a newly acquired lens with very fast aperture capabilities in order to bring subtle light sources to life. Taken during blue hour inside of a parking garage, these images were captured using only natural and available light. Blue hour’s cool tones provided the perfect contrast, creating a moody, cinematic palette that felt both intimate and alive, further enhanced by a cooler white balance setting than what I would typically use for portraits. My goal isn’t to chase technical perfection but to create a mood that resonates.

This one was shot with a different lens, and not wide open. I'm sure some will prefer this look over the other, though it's not my favorite.
Canon EF 35mm f/2 lens.
