Theresa Lee, Mira (SINGLE SHOT 2022)

American photographer Dan Winters’s book ‘Road To Seeing’ has become my source of inspiration and guidance. To Dan, making portraiture involves an artistic process. His words –“Find quiet,” resonated strongly in helping me direct my subject Mira in her ‘portrait session’ – Following Dan’s advice, I planned for Mira’s sitting. First I photographed the Jacaranda tree printed on canvas as her backdrop. I wanted to recreate a ‘1930s’ styled set for this portrait of Mira because it is from that era where she has drawn much of her artistic and fashion design inspiration.
