:: exercise #5 results {narrative portrait} | 30 people pictures ::

What a weekend I've had! New York City is, by-far, one of my favorite cities. I didn't realize how much I missed the impossibly tall buildings, the swirl of diversity, even the dog sh*t in the middle of the sidewalk in the East Village. I just feel different when I'm there. More in my element, somehow.

Not only did I get to work alongside a few of my talented colleagues from all over, on some fun shoots in Central Park (photos coming soon), I got to spend some quality time with dear friends whom I've not seen in ages.

This is a narrative portrait of my good friend Andrew sitting in his Brooklyn apartment. He is one of the most hard-working people I know, and I love being able to capturing a quiet, relaxed Andrew at home. I chose this man-of-many-talents as my subject for this week's exercise because he is perfect for it -- he is the costume dresser for the Phantom character on Broadway's "Phantom of the Opera", AND a talented actor to boot. Did I mention that he is also my one and only photography mentor? Not only did he shoot our wedding for us, he used his Broadway expertise to sew the spaghetti strap back onto my Angel Sanchez wedding gown.

Andrew's colorful personality is as big as his generous and caring heart.  I am so proud to call him a friend. Please visit his website and check out some of his latest work.

Leslie, I really think that you captured a lovely photograph of your friend. He looks very relaxed and the setting of the apartment adds to the feeling of "home" and comfort.
