Magazine Assignment
Portrait Photography is one of the great pleasures in life. You get to meet new and interesting people who let you spend even a few moments talking with them and capturing a few portraits. Every few months I get a call from Cure Magazine for an assignment, and I always wish they happened more often.

This week was assigned a portrait shoot for Care Magazine of Nina Beaty who is a Lung Cancer Survivor. Her story is really fascinating, starting with a family history that embedded with Broadway royalty, her grandfather was Richard Rodgers (of Rodgers and Hammerstein). After a chance encounter with a doctor who was treating her mother and a very luckily timed scan, she caught her cancer at just the right time to be detected and is doing great on a trial immunotherapy treatment.
Shot with the Fujifilm GFX 50S and 63mm F2.8 lens and lighting is sometime window light and sometime Profoto B2's.
