One of my highlights in my photography career was getting to photograph the great Dominique Sachse of KPRC Chanel 2 News for the cover portrait of River Oaks Lifestyle Magazine. We were hired by the magazine (who naturally called the best photographer in Houston), and given a few samples of styles they wanted for this photoshoot. They picked the venue HouStone Art gallery, which had work by James Glassman on Houstorian at the time highlighting Houston culture through his artistic ability. The wardrobe was provided by Chloe Dao (a Project Runway winner).
Dominique showed up with all the confident happy energy one could ever hope for in a photoshoot and hopped right into the scene ready to go and was ready to play along with a few of our ideas. As far as a celebrity portrait photography, I could not have asked for a better subject.
My most moving part of the shoot was when it was over. Dominique was all packed up and ready to go, it had just started to rain outside, she grabbed her umbrella, and in the same shoes she is wearing above, just strutted off into the rain like nothing mattered in the world. Her confidence was beautiful. Until we photograph her again…
