@christianrbarber

While visiting the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in Spring 2025, I walked around Belk Plaza, camera in hand, to photograph the flowers nearby. While standing there, I turned around and noticed a fellow photographer, @christianrbarber, walking my way. After calling out greetings to one another, he asked me for my photos, to which I obliged; there's a certain irony in being a portrait photographer where you often have photos of everyone but yourself. That said, after he took my photos, I asked to take his next, which he also obliged. Overall, our accidental encounter ended with beautiful results. If you want to see the interaction, definitely check out the video below!

Here's a quick video @christianrbarber took of our encounter with each other at UNC Charlotte, which led to a lighthearted portrait session collab!
