Portrait: Genesis

PORTRAITURE

Yesterday I visited The Elements Church in the Bronx to celebrate their first service in a new, bigger space.

It was such a joy to capture the joy of that service with my camera. One of the gems was of a young girl named Genesis. As I looked at the portrait in color I clearly imagined Genesis ten to twelve years in the future with headphones on and writing. Like her parents she definitely has that gift for creativity.

I crafted this black and white portrait to give it a more timeless feel.

Enjoy,
J

Urban Fine Art Fave - "Sunshine"

PHOTOGRAPHY

Sunshine - This is the last portrait in The-Genesis-Portrait Project.

I decided on this close-up to highlight the life, the vibrancy, the beauty and the light that Genesis shares with the world. As humans we all have this capacity. I believe we need to share more of that.

Genesis is definitely "Golden" in this portrait. I was going for a very specific texture on this one.

Urban Fine Art Fave - "Miami, South Bronx"

I love the gritty texture here of Genesis with the clouds brooding in the background. It feels like the Miami heat is beating down on her in this South Bronx exterior.

So I talked Genesis into taking photos with me in some remote areas of the Bronx. She lovingly obliged.

Here are two portraits from this Saturday's shoot:
