Portrait Photo-set: Dmac (Patreon)

The first of a our new summer series features Dmac, a regular of our live sessions. Dmac brings a puckish playfullness to this set of portraits which are set in a bright, fresh ice-cream palette and lit with the multidirectional reflected light of the summer to contrast with the dramatic chiaroscuro of the winter. We've included three full portrait rotations for sculptures and two dimensional artists alike!
