Deanna Talens is a professional cellist working in Europe. I directed a photo shoot with Deanna and photographer Nelson Fitch in auditorium spaces at Northwestern University, where Deanna was graduating with a Masters in music performance.

This was my first experience directing photography with the web page in mind at the outset. We shot spaces with lots of empty room for type.
