I had the pleasure of photographing poet Crystal Williams, just recently named as Boston University’s first associate provost for diversity and inclusion.  Williams, previously a professor at Bates College in Lewiston, is a talented poet (here she is reading one of her powerful works).

The assignment was to photograph Williams with just a simple, plain background, relying purely on expression and pose to convey her personality.   I love getting to know and work with people in this way.   Here are a few of the images I liked most from our session, below.
