These guys are really great to photograph. Jeremy and Jerome are friends I work with at AGCC. I have taken medium format portraits of Jeremy (on left) and his family. I like to use Portra 400 S film and I use my light meter and like to photograph in slightly overcast skies. I did not ask them to pose. They are intuitive men and I do not have to prop them up like two dolls. They know what to do. They are themselves . This is really the beauty of solid portraits. It helps to have people that can be themselves and have a trust with the photographer. I find it ironic that they posed themselves in the same posture/stance. I am on a mission. This passion began in SF photographing the SF Twins. Specialty Color Services does all my developing and printing. I will have this made into a 16 x 16 matte print scanned on foam core.
