Portrait of an Artist

It was good to be able to help out the University of Southern California last week for their USC News website. The visuals editor wanted to use one of my portraits I did of artist Edgar Arceneaux working on Drawings of Removal 1999-Present. It was taken at the launch of the new Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney about 3 years ago. The USC School of Art and Design recently announced that Los Angeles artist Edgar Arceneaux has been appointed as visiting professor of fine arts. I can remember watching Edgar at work and I wanted to capture him in a moment of thought and reflection as he was installing his work. There was very little natural light available so I used my speedlight on manual bounce flash, and was pleased with the results. The USC News website has great content ranging from Arts, Business, Health, Humanities and Science/Technology.
