I keep thinking: “I should sell the 135mm. I never shoot telephoto anymore.” And then I use it and fall in love again. Guess I’m keeping it.
Karina continues to impress. It’s jarring realizing we’ve only met twice. We get along so well, it feels like we’ve been collaborating forever — and I hope that shows in the images. I love that she’s always game and evolving to the situations I throw at her.
A special thanks to Jasmine Nayyar for lending her makeup artistry on this! SUCH POWERFUL COUNTOURING WORK!
