Photographer Brian Cummings of St Louis, MO shot the above portrait (left) as part of a series titled “The Tower Sessions.” Cummings details his sessions by saying “each model was photographed in a private hour session, similar to their tattoo session. I talked with the model about their ink, it’s importance and meaning to them,” after which he would start the session.
The Gold Award-winning photograph beside it was shot by Kimberly Lennex of Elamora Studio in Ferndale, MI.
