When scouting locations, subjects are often surprised when we find a suitable area for a photograph. In these portraits of Jarrett, we used settings surrounding his family's property that complemented his choice of clothing. A weathered building and an old barn were used in the two images shown above. Lighting was sculpted with scrims and gobos (to block stray light) to create dimension and depth in each photograph. The resulting edge lighting chiseled Jarrett's jawline and shoulders for a more powerful feel to the photograph. Finally, his complementing expressions complete the portrait.
