Me by Konrad Dwojak

This weekend, my colleague, the up-and-coming uber photographer, Konrad Dwojak took a couple of portrait shots of me to furnish my new website-in-the-works.

Here is a preview of one of Kon's concept shots, which I love! It was really important to get the books in the shot and the composition took a little time. While Kon was concerned that I should be the focus, he managed to achieve the right balance between me and the books and accurately but discreetly convey the message that I wanted.

This is a cropped version of the final image. The full photo is below. If you like Konrad's sophisticated camera work, you can follow him on Twitter @konradphoto.
