Outtakes: Luis Von Ahn for Delta Sky Magazine
Recently I had the pleasure of photographing innovator and entrepreneur Luis Von Ahn for Delta Sky Magazine. This was one of those rare instances where I have actually photographed the subject before (I shot Luis for Wired Magazine, which you can see here). Luis is such a down to earth guy and is pretty much up for anything. In this instance, the article called for a more environmental portrait than a conceptual photograph. I arrived at his offices, did a quick scout of the location, and came up with three separate possibilities. 1. a scene establishing photograph showcasing Luis’s work environment. 2. Something a bit more conceptual and fun. 3. A nice window lit portrait to emphasize his personality.

In the end the magazine decided to run the more conceptual image which I felt was a good fit for the article.
