In December, I worked with education reporter Olivia Allen
on portraits to accompany her interview series with current college students. The piece
looked at each of the students’ backgrounds, how they felt about college and
how they viewed the ever-changing education landscape given the nation’s
political climate.

For the portraits, I went in wanting to keep things single.
I relied on a single strobe, the Godox V1 and the Canon 1Dx Mark ii with Canon 24-70 f/2.8 EF.
