Once again Joe had a very special treat in store for the group. We headed to the old New Mexico State Penitentiary where the bloodiest prison riot in US history took place in 1980. The prison has been unused for the last decade and is falling into a wonderful state of disrepair with amazing patina on the walls and great light coming in from the windows. We had four models and divided up into groups to photograph in various locations around the prison. My group worked natural light with Donald as our subject. Donald is a wonderful gentleman with a face that simply oozes charachter.
For the next session, we had Deollo, an engaging young man with a wonderful face and great head of hair and once again used natural window light…
As I entered the staging area, I found Adam just finishing up from working with a group and he graciously posed for a few quick shots…
While portrait photography is not my normal forte but, I have to say with the models we had to work with and the great location, it was a no brainer.
