As photographers, we rarely get our way when it comes to which images are used in publications and it can honestly be a bit of a bummer. Especially as a portrait photographer when your goal is to represent your subject in the most honest way possible. When a photo editor or creative director makes the selects, the audience could be seeing something very different than what the photographer intended.

My recent spread with Tessa Thompson for Variety is a good example of this. I think the images chosen are beautiful but they don’t exactly represent the spirit I felt in her while working together. This could be because a magazine and/or the talents team have a specific goal in mind with the images used and that might not align perfectly with who the subject is. Either way, this is the image that I like most from the series Variety used. No clue if anyone would noticed a difference or even care but to me it matters and Tessa agrees that this image feels more like her.

If you’re reading this, I’d love to know your thoughts.

Not everyday you shoot a comeback record for one of your favorite throw backs. Thanks for the inspiration through highschool guys, I’m glad I could give back.
