Portrait Photography | An Author’s Portrait

  • by

Robert is a long time friend of mine and he writes books.  His third book, The Troupe, was recently published.  A few months prior to the release date, he called me up to tell me that the portrait I had photographed for his first book back in the middle 2010 was… well… too young.

So we checked our schedules, and bright and early one Sunday morning I headed down to South Austin with my car overflowing with my photo studio to his house.  After hauling in the gear, setting up and a few test shots, we got a number of good head shots for the back of his book and any publicity he may need.  We were going for a slightly edgy, editorial feel; I’m pretty sure we nailed it.

After breaking down and reloading the car, we headed over to a restaurant for lunch.  It was a good way to spend a Sunday.
