The instant I saw Meris with her blue blockers and furs, I knew I had to photograph her. I was on my morning commute, and it looked as if she was too, but I took the chance and asked her for a portrait. She couldn’t have been nicer, and didn’t mind my direction when I asked her to move infront of the brick backdrop. This was my first “field” portrait with the Contax 645, and in my excitement I forgot to recognize that the shutter was set to flash sync mode. I realized the mistake only after I had walked away, hoped that the frames weren’t overblow, and smiled so BIG when I saw the final result.
More CONTACT after the break…
Meris,
My name is Graham Unterberger and I took your portrait on Spring street about a Month ago. I wanted to share the results with you, as I am stoked with the way everything came out. Those blue lenses are KILLER, and in combination with the fur coat, the whole look was amazing. Thank you again for allowing me to take your photograph, and I hope you enjoy the portrait as much as I do.
Thanks,
Graham Unterberger
