Paul C. Buff / A memoriam

IN MEMORIUM: One of our great light providers has followed his. Rest in peace Mr. Buff. You have helped create extraordinary work. Your legend will continue with photographers for years to come.

Read the entire story on Paul’s site. This spirited man will be missed greatly. 

If anyone would care to submit images utilizing the lighting from Paul’s arsenal send to me stating what equipment used, sized at 800 long side.

Please email me at lori@photocommunique.com and I will include them on this tribute posting.
