Céline's Portrait Session

‍ ‍

Against the gritty backdrop of railroad tracks and passing freight cars, Céline’s long dreadlocks, dark clothing and quiet confidence gave the portraits an unmistakable edge. I worked between wider environmental photographs and closer portraits, using the converging rails, industrial landscape and movement of the trains to frame her. The contrast between Céline’s calm presence and the raw surroundings made this one of the most distinctive portrait sessions of my European journey.

Rooftops of Tours

The rooftops of Tours stretched out under the overcast sky, with church domes and spires rising above the buildings. A classic view of the city that had become such an important part of my time in France.

Half-Timbered Square

The beautiful half-timbered buildings lining the square in Tours stood as a reminder of the city’s medieval past. These colorful, timber-framed houses are one of the most charming features of the old town.

Carousel Rides

The brightly lit carousel spun in the square at night, its lights glowing against the old buildings. A cheerful, festive sight on this December evening.
