I like to create simple por traits with no distractions.

The b ackground, p ose, light, expression, composition are all simple. This leaves us with nothing but the subject. In this case, the subjects are creatives brought together because of what they do. People want to hear them sp eak, se e their work and be inspired by them.

What they say and do will have an effect on the p e o p l e w h o a t t e n d O F F S E T, t h e r e s u l t o f w h i c h could be huge.

I would meet the speakers as they exited the stage and request to take there photo. Still buz zing from speaking in front of many hundreds of people, they all said yes. All of the portraits were quick.

The longest took about ten minutes.

The shortest 30 seconds.
