I’m not usually the guy to shoot “the girl next door” but this portrait of Farrin doesn’t fit any other category! (Trivia: Farrin is Brenda’s twin sister. Check out that post for an interesting comparison of two sisters and another take on this same subject.)

Black and white photography is a wonderful media for creating intimate portraits because the lack of color immediately simplifies the image, causing the viewer to focus on the real subject of the photograph—the portraiat’s subject—instead of their clothing or surroundings.

When I find myself wondering, “what do I shoot next?” or start to think “there’s nothing to photograph,” I like to shoot some images in direct monochrome mode.

I can understand how you might think that having three different cameras for infrared capture a bit over-the-top. I would agree with that  but I have my reasons even if to the average photographer they might not seem to make much sense.
