Context
The site includes the two portraits themselves, but not shoot dates, location details, or technical shooting notes. This page therefore stays close to what can actually be seen and verified in the images already present.

Photo Note
The photography lane has real visual material to work from: the casual portrait used on the homepage and the formal portrait used on the professional section. That is enough to talk concretely about how portraiture shapes the public tone of the site.
Photo Note
The two images do different kinds of work. One feels more relaxed and approachable, while the other signals ceremony, seriousness, and professional presence. Together they show that photography on a personal site does not have to be ornamental; it can help set proportion and context before a visitor reads a line of copy.
Photo Note
This page does not claim camera settings, shoot locations, session history, or a broader portrait project because those details are not public. What it can honestly do is treat the existing portraits as real visual work carrying part of the site's identity.
