My partner, Stacy Keck, and I have started on our list of environmental portraits that we want to make of creatives and people who have unique studio/living spaces. Our first subject was Jon Talbott of Talbott & Sons Leather Goods based in San Diego, Ca.

Founded in 1974 by his father, Jerry Talbott, which Jon has now taken over the namesake and continues to make quality leather camera goods by hand just as his father did.

These photos are from the first of a series that Stacy and I are starting on where we get to know these artists in their studios and make portraits of them in their natural environment. 

I made these photos with a Mamiya C220 on Kodak Portra 400 film.
