PHOTOGRAPHER SELECTS : American voters leaving the country because of us politics.
Photographer Selects is series where I reveal a full set of images from a recent assignment that were delivered to my client. I also share the assignment details and gear I used. Normally, only the best of the best make it to publication, but I thought it would be informative to see how I work a scene, the bad and the good shots I take, and what the client ultimately chooses (which isn’t always the same as what I prefer.)
