Portraits

A dedicated fan shows support while soaking up the sun.

Undergraduate student Amy Nguyen poses for a portrait inside the Radcliffe Science Library during her summer term in the UGA at Oxford program.

As we all know there is never a shortage of unique lighting situations that are thrown at us. This shot came out of a live drawing class shoot. It was a challenge as the main lighting in the room was the light on the subject the students were drawing. So the ambient light left me with great contrast but the only time the students faces were lit was when they would look up at the live art model. 

Quadry Chance, a University of Florida Department of Astronomy graduate student, gazes up at the stars on a clear night at Rosemary Hill Observatory. Chance was named one of 2020's Pre-Doctoral Fellows at the Center for Computational Astrophysics making him the first at UF. This year, two more students joined him in earning this honor and I photographed them all to celebrate the achievement.
