You move gracefully from one genre of photography to another. What are some of the things that you consider when you size up an assignment?

Thank you. Portrait, landscape, food…almost any subject is an opportunity to highlight something that’s blaringly beautiful or captivating to me. I don’t overthink assignments. I approach each new one with curiosity about who I’ll meet or what I’ll observe from my lens.
