Meet Monica

I had the pleasure a few days ago to photograph Monica Wilson who is running for Antioch city council. I didn’t know her before this shoot but found her to be such a warm and enthusiastic person. I hope you can tell by her smile here what a warm person she seems to be.  Antioch needs a person like this as so does every city. I wish you well Monica!

Photo taken with three flashes. One soft box to the right and an umbrella to the left and fill light behind her aimed at the back wall.

He is a composer, cellist, pianist and selected as teacher of the year by the Contra Costa Community college district. One of his recent compositions just won a place in a nation wide competative music competition for original scores based on a given theme.

What follows are my selects from the portrait and practice session:
