I’ve been adding to my ongoing series of Artist Portraits. In the top photograph meet Emmy nominated composer Christian Moder. If you have watched any of my broadcast spots or documentary shorts then you have heard Moder’s music!

What I love about this portrait is how it has a grounded calmness and strength to it - there is a quite yet confident tone - and I like how the natural vignette fall off accentuates the optimistic sparkle in his eyes.  🛠, SAW
