The 60 at 60 Project

As we move through 2023 and dip into 2024, and to help celebrate my 40th year in business and my recent 60th birthday, I’ll be doing my best to capture 60 new BW personal portraits during the year. Capturing portraits has always been my ‘happy place’ and I’m really looking forward to the creative challenge of capturing 60 new ones!

“A portrait is not only an opportunity to learn about each person I get to photograph, but perhaps also a little more about myself.”

Cheers, Dwayne.

I had the awesome (and fun) opportunity to spend some time yesterday at Carleton University, photographing the university’s 15th president, Benoit-Antoine Bacon. I’ve photographed Benoit a few other times for Carleton and each time it was such an easy and interesting experience. This shoot was similar but even more cool, as our conversation leaned towards how we all see the world with our eyes and brain, his love for music and also his gratefully close relationship with his daughter (who is also studying at Carleton).

Benoit is kind and curious, approachable and humble, and really enjoys helping students find their way.

Thanks Benoit, for being such a pleasure to photograph!
