Mame Du Bois, Alex (PEOPLE 2024)

Some photos take time and careful planning, others just happen. This was one of those photos that just happened. Early one evening, Alex and his partner stoped by. I asked Alex to sit in front of the camera so I could test a new lighting setup and backdrop. This was the result. Alex's sapphire-blue eyes popped. This is one of the rare photos where I truly had trouble deciding if I preferred the mono or colour version.
