These photos are great. I love the styles of his shirt and the colors go together greatly in this series. The black and white of his hand rubbing his face and the next one of him walking are my favorite. Spectacular capture of emotion.
Great shots of Jeff! Love what looks to be a kung-fu-kick shot, and the airstream shot is great!!!Love the mix of shots.
Jeff is a truly amazing guy who connects with everyone! He's wonderful.
eep. cheep cheep. eep (again). so stinkin amazing.
Love, love, love the personality, the sweet and the serious - how wonderful your skills that they allow us to peer into someone else's soul - you both are always kickin some major butt - love it.
I feel like male portraits are some of the most difficult pieces, but you nailed it! I can feel a personality through the film which is so refreshing. Not to mention that he's pretty good looking as well....:)
these are incredible. love the locations and clothes. gooooood lookin' man in some good lookin' photographs.

I'm beyond blessed to have the both of you in my life and to share in this journey together. These pictures mean more to me than you'll ever know. You both inspire me to be a better photographer, business owner and most importantly a better friend.
Definately everything you said is true! An amazing fella. and Great photos!
Chris & Sarah; You two are incredibly talented. Even though I don't know Jeff personally, there are so many aspects of his character shown in these images. I loved 'getting to know' him through your images.
He looks like a cool guy!! Very handsome!!! I love the photo of his hands!
Ohhhh, Jeff is Yummy!!!
I love these pictures! I knew "Jeffery Jefferson" could take lots of good photos...Although, it doesn't hurt when you're working with an AMAZING photographer! :)

Oh that tilt-blur makes me drool! I love the action shots!! You two are so great!
Looking good Jeff! S + C did a great job :)
I think I need a Sarah Rhoads workshop in my life. Any plans to head to Toronto?
Love it! Love the one where he is laughing. Now I'm inspired to have MY portraits taken. It's hard for a photographer to be on the other side of the lens. Way to be brave, Jeff!
Plaid shirts and fall/winter colors are wicked. Love the large format w/ tilt, too. :)
Jeff, you rocked it. *high five* :) And Sarah and Chris, these shots are amazing. Loving the large format!

Seriously Jeff is a baller!!!! Love your work Sarah!
I ADORE the paper-rock-scissors photograph early in the post. And I only just met Jeff at the MTH 2010 in LA, but your description could not be more dead-on. Jeff, if you're reading these comments, you look amazing. Sarah, I love your work so much. There is so much heart in each photo. Fantastic job.

nice work, rhoads. your work has grown leaps and bounds. i can see a real comfort on both ends of the camera in these. this may sound odd, but, i swear that billy lives in my building, that or he has a twin.

LOVE the colors!
You always have the greatest locations for shoots!
@Maureen I just adore you. my most thoughtful encouraging sweet friend :)
I really love this set. You didn't even need many backgrounds or locations to get these shots, but the simplicity and the beauty still made me stop and stare.
But most of all, I really love you! :)
Jill is beautiful from the inside - out. a calm beauty. You captured that perfectly!
Sarah, have I told you lately that I love your work?! Maybe not, but I do and I say it every time I visit your blog.
