Dr. Michael Jensen for Terp Magazine

Pitching, Research, Portraiture

With this shoot, I wanted to evoke gravity of Jensen’s research into domestic radicalization and terrorism. I chose to use dramatic lighting and a barren room to echo the unsettling nature of his subject material.

I developed this pitch with the Artistic Director and executed the final portrait, which ran in the Winter ‘21 issue of the magazine.

Terp Magazine

Image Research, Photo Editing

The University of Maryland’s quarterly magazine publication, circulation 120,000.

Much of my research spans the University archives but it also encompasses communicating with outside collections and licensing from wire services to secure external assets to publish.

The Hue of High Street

Concept, Lighting, Portraiture

Every year while working on the school paper, I covered Fest Season, the period of spring semester when students throw massive, alcohol-soaked block parties.

My final year at school, I wanted to capture the traditional chaos in a new way. I chose to focus on jerseys, typically an item of clothing meant to identify an individual, but in this instance the uniform of the crowd.
