- Hi I'm Chris Orwig. Welcome to this installment of Narrative Portraiture. The series where we focus in on the art and craft of creating portraits that are full of story, authenticity and depth. And here in this installment, we have this unique privilege of travelling to Texas and meeting up with Keith Carter. Keith Carter, he's a fine art photographer and a teacher. He's made a number of different coffee table books, and his photography, it's been shown in galleries throughout the world. And here, we have this privilege of visiting him in his home and studio. We're going to get a tour of his space.
We'll also sit down and have a conversation. We'll learn a little bit about his story, and about his approach to photography. And then, we're going to get out on location and make some photographs with a few different people. And, of course, we'll review those pictures. And you know the goal of this installment as well as the entire series is that it's a catalyst. It's a catalyst which provides you with new ideas, which somehow shape who you are, how you see, and the photographs that you make. Well, our adventure in Texas awaits.
Let's begin.
