I had the opportunity to meet and take some portraits of James Vara; who is New Hampshires Governor's Advisor on Addiction and Behavioral Health, also known as the "Drug Czar" (just don't mention that phrase around him) for the Hippo. James came to the studio and we spent a little time getting some portraits that would be used with an extensive article on him.
James arrived shortly after I had received my PhaseOne digital back, so after I knew I had good shots on my DSLR, I swapped over to my Hasselblad/Phase combo for some test shots.
It was at this point when I new I would need a viewfinder for the camera that had an adjustable diopter lens, as my eyeballs couldn't focus properly.

Shot with the same setup, only moved back a bit to show more of the studio.
