The Gallery: Jason Lazarus

Lindsey's bedroom
The Living with a Portrait series by Chicago photographer Jason Lazarus literally explores ideas of living with portraits - whether formal or casual. We adore the richness and depth of portrait detail contrasting with a stark (possibly equally as staged?) domestic setting. Lots more below:

This is really interesting -- especially the political photos. My grandparents had one of FDR. I was probably about 10 before I realized he wasn't a relative.
