My theme for the photo shoot of musician, Jeff de Boar, was organic and rustic. I wanted to portray Jeff in the very elements that he so expressly enjoys. Jeff is a musician whose songs celebrate the beauty of nature, people, and love. A person who is probably more comfortable behind a microphone and guitar than in front of a camera; it seemed fitting to place him in surroundings that reflected his heart, encouraging him to relax and be himself. What appealed to me about this location was the ruggedness of the building worn by time and modern day hands. (Written with the permission of Jeff de Boar) | |
