Was great to photograph the team at @drmorsetattoo a couple of weeks ago.

These sessions are always about more than just creating professional headshots. A tattoo studio's identity comes from the artists behind it, their personalities, their creativity, and the unique styles they bring to every client.
My goal was to capture that individuality while still creating a cohesive set of staff portraits that represent the studio as a whole.

Really enjoyed stepping into a different environment and working on portraits that showcase the people behind the craft.
