This is a commission work finally done, ive been working on since early July.
I had the privilege of meeting Neda Keshani, Financial Advisor, on the night of May 31 @ Square One's Creative Event titled \"Go!\" at the Ritz Ybor. Neda was so amazed by my work, and we talked during the event for quite some time. She contacted me immediately after the show wanting an original artwork for herself.
We got together in July, and Neda immediately fell into my creative process. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. I had explained the night before the shoot i had a very horrible evening, and i was stressed to my limits, i took this opportunity, turned the negativity to positive by expressing myself through her the entire time. And it was awesome because this was what she wanted from the beginning. Neda was completely about letting me be to my process and my own thoughts and expression, and didnt want any boundaries or limitations to hinder the final work.
Neda was amazed to see herself in my light, as we photographed her, as she is a very happy and sweet person. With so many amazing photos, it was really hard to come down to a final work, i have a bunch of trial versions, however those trials helped me to round off to a final composition.
the portrait on the right is STUNNING!! that level of quality is really cool.
overall this is layed out quite nicely.

meredith thanks luis! that portrait was the first i started on, of all of the photos i took. and well i think maybe i was too lazy to enlarge it to the full size of the final peice (20x30). but i think all on its own... that portrait would've been good by itself. you live and you learn. hehe.
