The Fast Take
The Fast Take is a series of celebrity portraits made in the high-pressure, fast-moving studios of film festivals and award shows. Mostly created in under two minutes, each portrait session is a brief exchange - quick, focused, and stripped to its essentials. Within that narrow window, the work draws out unexpected moments of personality, using creative lighting and instinctive direction to turn brief encounters into lasting impressions.
