Chicago black and white headshot series: Robin Cook

Chicago black and white headshot series by John Gress Chicago Photographer

For this Chicago black and white headshot series featuring models Robin Cook, Eric Luchen and Matthew Cuff, I decided to use natural light, augmented with reflectors, and fast prime lenses shot wide open to blur the background.

Model and dancer Raphael noted, “I am not as strong as I look in those pics, in my daily life. Unless I’m teaching dance in the ghetto.”
