After two years, we’re BACK! We’re in Austin, Texas, at the SXSW Film Festival, making portraits and animated GIFs with talent from the latest films and TV shows. This marks the first photo studio since the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, for myself and fellow staff photojournalist Kent Nishimura, who tones all the work produced here. It was a weekend of hugs and reuniting for many casts and a chance to let loose.
