It’s not everyday that you have the opportunity to photograph a person that has just received their P.H.D. Dr. Rita L. Joyner asked me to photograph her after she received her P.H.D from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, NC.  She is an inspiration to both children and adults who are currently pursuing degrees at all different levels.
Kudos to her! These look great, Ivan. Lovely background and lighting. I especially like the third photo down.
