Rabbi

One of the most fascinating aspects of photography is the people one meets. While shooting for the Savannah Morning News in Savannah, Georgia I was sent to a synagogue to photography a Rabbi. I cannot be accused of taking a long time to set up my shots but I do take quick notice of environmental opportunities to compliment my subjects.

For the Rabbi portrait he politely gave me 15 minutes to photograph him. I try for the safe shot first and if time allows I expand the portrait. This one is the secondary shot where I discovered the captivating stained glass windows of the synagogue, placed him in front of the windows trying for an angel effect with the roof lights. One of my favorites over the years.
