Christian Narkiewicz Laine Luxe 338x500 Luxe Magazine Style Makers

I’ve been having a good time shooting portraits for Luxe magazine’s “Style Makers” section–I shot one a couple weeks ago, and the portrait above appeared in the Spring 2010 edition. These assignments are a treat for me; the section runs black and white photos, which I love to shoot, and the subjects have been fascinating people in interesting spaces. The Renaissance man pictured is architect, painter, sculptor, writer, critic, and poet Christian K. Narkiewicz-Laine.
