Assignment: Portrait
I've lost track of so many friends over the years. Krystal was the exceptional Wardrobe Mistress for the Boston Ballet in the 1970's.

This photo was taken one morning at my home studio. I wanted a breezy, laughing, festive kind of photo, but she wasn't a morning person and just wasn't in the mood. So, going with the flow, we created this low-key portrait that I like very much. I used only one light from behind which was reflected off a screen set very close to her face.
