Someone I know just asked me if I would be willing to photograph them for a very special portrait session. They will undergo a single mastectomy soon, and want to have some beautiful nude images of themselves beforehand.

It must be completed on time. Making the final selection often takes longer than the piece took to make. I have at times made my own frames … Continue reading
