I've always enjoyed looking at portraits taken on the street, and I don't mean just portraits of strangers, but instead, actual well planned and composed pictures of any individual in the midst of city life. When I had the opportunity to meet with makeup artist Michael Adamo for a casual portrait shoot around downtown in New Haven, CT, I was excited because it was an excellent opportunity to attempt something different from what I've done before.

Shooting portraits in the street require quick thinking and spontaneity, and to my surprise, people didn't seem to be too concerned about what you are doing.
