Artist Meets Photography

Graffiti Wall
by Graham McFarland

Todd Van Fleet, one of our spotlight photographers and long time friend of mine, just returned from a trip to a Senior Portrait Artists (SPA) workshop seminar held at Anitsdels Studio in Louisburg, Kansas. He raved about the workshop and got plenty of creative and business ideas that he said he would be trying out in his own studio in Denver. I highly recommend SPA to anyone who is currently shooting seniors or wants to.

The studio asked Todd to stick around an extra day to paint a graffiti wall to be used for a background for portraits. Todd is an excellent artist and one of the most creative individuals that I have ever met. Check out his creation.


The wall turned out great and is really an out-of-the-box idea to bring a new dimension and relevancy to professionals portraits. Here are some shots taken by the studio using the new graffiti wall that Todd created.
