Hyphen Magazine - leaders and board members

They use these for press releases, grant applying, basically anywhere they’ll want to put a friendly face to a name. Each session lasted about fifteen minutes and I got a chance to chat one-on-one with each of them. Was great to learn […]

The difference between a headshot and portrait?
