For many photographers (including me) a self portrait is a painful lesson in humility.  I take photos of people, so I know all too well that being a model comes easier for some people than others.  Putting myself in front of the lens, even when the camera is set to automatically take photos,  allows me to experience some of these feelings and insecurities that can hinder or even ruin photos.   Taking selfies in my own studio seems indulgent but also provides a good experience for me and helps me grow as a photographer.

I was very pleased to have an opportunity to take photos of Anne Berry.   Anne is a graphic designer and Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at the University of Notre Dame and a studio mate of mine at LightBox, Goshen.   Anne, it turns out, is also a great photography model! More Headshots HERE
