In May 2025, was at the Portrait Society of America Conference in D.C. Amazing couple of days. The Society brought in a few professional models to use during their sessions. Loved this model “Steve” that was used during Quang Ho and Kevin Macpherson’s portrait session on color and structure. Caught Steve in the hallway – allowed me to take a few great reference shots. Here’s my first drawing from those photos. I purposefully made Steve a little shorter than reality. Think it adds to the mystique of the image.
